Randall Broadhead discusses the impact of AI on music, his personal experiences in the industry, and his journey with mental health.
Randall Broadhead of Christian rock band We Are Vessel joins Ken Gerber for an honest conversation about where music is headed and what it costs to chase it. They dig into AI's takeover of songwriting and live shows, the backing-track-and-tuned-vocal standard that's swallowed modern recording, and Randall's near-disaster with TuneCore that tanked his monthly Spotify listeners before he moved his entire catalog to Ocean House. From touring with Skillet and Colton Dixon on Winter Jam to running his Air Buzz tour-bus company, Randall opens up about the season the rug got pulled out from under him, his mental-health testimony, the pre-show self-doubt Jason Roy of Building 429 talked him through, and why the stage is still the one place every voice in his head goes quiet. The episode wraps with Randall's LED-wall donation to the Tones & Bones music nonprofit, the upcoming youth-band program, and a long-overdue Top Golf rematch.[0:00] Intro & Top Golf rematch[2:25] AI in music — songwriting, auto-tune & where it's all heading[11:00] Gerber Injury Law sponsor[12:00] Using AI as a creative tool & the commercialization of pop[16:25] Backing tracks and the modern live-show…
