EP75 – Mike Steimel (Music Producer/Musician) – Conversations with Calcaterra

Conversations with Calcaterra

“Art or humor can both be defined by taking two things that don't seem to be connecting and connecting them and making a third thing. And I thought, Man, that is really cool. That is an awesome quote.“ – Mike Steimel sharing a quote from a successful band manager on Conversations with Calcaterra “So kind of songwriting is and producing music, it's just about choices, choosing from things that already exist and putting them together.” – Mike Steimel sharing a quote from a successful band manager on Conversations with Calcaterra “However, when that happens where I get a weekend and I get to really write a song that I'm super proud of, it definitely helps put my mind at ease and makes me in a better mood when I go back to work and I realize, okay, this is how I make the money to support myself, to give me that studio space and give me the tools that I need to be able to make music.” – Mike Steimel on Conversations with Calcaterra Creative endeavors require time and motivation and with a demanding full-time gig can be near impossible which makes the work of Mike Steimel that much more meaningful. Mike has music placed in numerous TV shows, films and commercials and enjoys producing artists and deep-sea fishing.
