Transcript Welcome back to OWC Radio. If you've ever thought about getting into the world of music producing or performing, or if you're just curious about how things work behind the scenes, today's conversation with David Kalmusky will be fun and rewarding. David is a superstar, multi-Platinum, multi-Billboard, number one charting music producer, songwriter, guitarist, engineer, and mixer. He lives in Nashville and runs Addiction Sound Studios with his partner, Jonathan Cain. Jonathan is the piano player for Journey and the writer of such notable songs as Don't Stop Believing, Faithfully, and Open Arms.  You know, in my career, I've had the good fortune to meet and sometimes work with some of the world's greatest actors, musicians, and tech creators. And I found that most of the truly gifted stars are incredibly modest. You could say that David Kalmusky falls into that category on both counts. He's gifted and understated about his life and his successes and his craft. I recently met him through the team at OWC and wanted to share our conversation with you.  David is sought out by acts such as Shawn Mendes, Keith Urban, Meghan Trainor, Justin Bieber, Journey, Joe Bonamassa, Tenille Townes, Carrie Underwood, John Legend, The Sisterhood, Vince Gill, John Oates of Hall & Oates,
