This is a podcast focused on music creation, professional and personal development, the creative process, and the inner workings of my life in music. My name is John O‘Hallaron. I release music under the name Chalk Dinosaur and I work as a freelance composer for television and games.
Venting about a recent covid cancellation, my collaboration with our guitarist Jon Henderson, release strategy, and quitting nicotine.

On this episode I chat with Pittsburgh music producer and vinyl dj - BusCrates. He's one of my personal hometown favorites, and his music combines elements of hip-hop, synthesizer funk, and disco. He is also an avid user of the live streaming platform, Twitch. He does live streams of his vinyl dj sets and also production streams where he's composing new material.
Find his music on Spotify, Bandcamp, and anywhere else music is available.
