Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kandi Robinson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Kandi, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to start by getting your thoughts on what you are seeing as some the biggest trends emerging in your industry

Some of the biggest trends that I’m starting to see in my industry is the usage of AI technology. I can’t even wrap my head around the AI writing songs and composing music now. I honestly prefer just the good ol’ pen and paper format. When will we stop and realize that we do need a human to do things?

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

The Audio Plugz is an independent music licensing, music supervision, music clearance and music production company as well as a song publishing company owned by songwriter, composer, and music business professional, Kandi “Inkz” Robinson.

Here at The Audio Plugz, we get hired from all over the world to find/curate the perfect track, song, or sound design for film, TV, advertising, trailers, soundtracks, video games, and other projects. We help other music supervisors find what they need for their projects as well. We also have close relationships with major label executives and A&R’s around the globe and we help them find awesome songs for their artists.

We also represent hand-picked bands/artists, songwriters, and composers from around the world, who are serious about exploiting their musical masterpieces.

Our catalog is BIG but our love for music is even BIGGER, so we have tons of pre-cleared music and can meet any budget. If we don’t have it in stock, then of course…..we’ll just create it!

We are known for our quick turnarounds, our expertise and humble spirits. We listen to what our clients want and we get it done!

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

The 5 things that helped build my reputation within the music industry has been:

1. Doing what I say that I am going to do.
2. Finishing projects in a timely fashion.
3. Being honest and trustworthy.
4. Making sure that I provide quality work.
5. Having amazing customer service.

These things have kept me with clients that keep coming back as well as gaining new clients. I can’t stress enough that when it comes down to business, if you can’t do it…say that you can’t in the beginning. A lot of people end up ghosting their clients because they took a job knowing that they were not qualified to do it or they didn’t have the time.

Have you ever had to pivot?

A time that I had to pivot in my business strategy was actually around 2014. I started out as a songwriter, in which my publishing company Ink Never Dries Publishing was born. There were so many ups and downs with that side of the business, from always being broke to being passed over a lot because I was a female. With other things combined, it just left me feeling drained, defeated and unfulfilled. So in 2016, I decided to turn all of my connections and experience into what I now have today, The Audio Plugz.
