“In the production world, each band has its own purpose.”
In this episode of Radio Safa, we sit down with William Robertson (Al) — guitarist, producer, and founder of Nu Pop Entertainment — to explore his journey from performing musician to music entrepreneur.
William shares valuable insights into building a production company, working with multiple bands, hiring artists, and creating meaningful opportunities within the music industry. His perspective offers a deeper understanding of how artists can expand beyond performance and develop sustainable careers in music.
What makes this conversation even more special is the spontaneity he brings to the session — picking up his guitar and delivering an impressive off-the-cuff performance, seamlessly improvising both instrumentally and vocally in real time.
