The Mavens

The Vocalist Magazine has already taken an in-depth look at musical artists in Montreal but it is important to acknowledge that it is never a 1 man show. This is the perspective MAVENS - “A Day in The Life” will take.

In order for an artist to be successful they need to have a strong team, so let’s take a look into these “People who make a difference” / The Mavens in the Montreal’s Music Community.

This Docu-series will answer our viewers’ questions about the multitude of fields that are linked to the music industry by following people in different career paths that assist artists in the Montreal Community. Visually, it will be a mix of a brief interview, a behind the scene look at what their daily job routine consists of in addition to the final product, in this case the final production.
