The Man Behind The Music Podcast

Welcome to The Man Behind The Music, where we go beyond the beats into the real stories behind music production for film and TV. I’m your host, Derryck “Big Tank” Thornton—producer, music supervisor, and composer with decades in the game, working with icons like Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Missy Elliott, and Christina Aguilera. My credits include BMF, Power, The Chi, and The Boondocks, blending executive insight with creative vision.

Joining me are two legends: Grammy-winning producer Denaun “Mr. Porter” Porter—known for his work with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Sting, and Straight Outta Compton—and hitmaker Rockwilder, the force behind Jay-Z’s “Do It Again,” “Lady Marmalade,” and Method Man & Redman’s “Da Rockwilder.”

Together, we’ll break down the craft, culture, and business of music—and give aspiring producers a shot at real placements through our Patreon. Let’s go beyond the sound.
