Steven Leavitt’s Summary
My practice and study of music production has crossed over to video, web, and other forms of multimedia. I believe that the convergence between film, television, music, and web has already begun and is only starting to be capitalized on.
While my primary goal is to develop my skills and discography as a music producer, my secondary goal is to develep a multimedia business to support the independent music arena.
