Industry Interviews

An Intimate Chat with Video Director & Producer, Robby Starbuck

This month's Fireside Chat is an informal Q&A with Music Video Director and Producer, Robby Starbuck.

Robby Starbuck is an artist who's willing to take huge risks to walk the walk and paint his unique voice on his own private canvas -- film. He's directed music videos for such amazing artists as: Snoop Dogg, Smashing Pumpkins, Escape The Fate, Metric, The Sounds, Pierce The Veil and dozens of others and has, to date, almost 28 million views on his YouTube channel.

Starbuck is pioneering a new interpersonal relationship between music, video, artist and film. He is first an artist, but constantly raises the bar on himself as a CEO -- and on the industry in which he operates.

Kelli: Let's switch gears a little bit and talk about the industry itself. Video's been given new life by social media, and especially through YouTube. Videos by Vevo alone were seen by almost 40% of the unique US videos last year. Do you think video will continue its new popularity after being on the decline for so long?  If so, do you think mainstream media, like MTV, could jump back on board?  

Robby Starbuck:  Well there's two answers there, I think absolutely yes, as far as video continuing its rise...if you look at the numbers and the statistics ... and combine it all, it's staggering.  Now is the time when we see the most music videos ever watched in the history of television and the modern era.  Click here to read the rest of this article.
