Release date

'&MUSIC' will be available for streaming on Quibi on April 6, 2020.

Plot

'&MUSIC' (or 'and Music') is a six-episode documentary that offers viewers an insider look into what goes on behind-the-scenes in the music industry. More specifically, the show shines a spotlight on the often invisible music industry workers and collaborators that help bring some of the biggest stages to life.

Cast

The show features Ariana Grande, Ozzy Osbourne, J Balvin, DJ Martin Garrix, Anderson .Paak and YG, who will each give their respective teams — including lighting directors, choreographers, audio engineers and songwriters — the spotlight they rarely get.

'Light & Music', 'Dance & Music', 'Mind & Music' and 'Style & Music' are directed by JP Stiles & Harrison Macks. 'Audio & Music' is directed by Calmatic while 'Writing & Music' is directed by Michael D Ratner.

Producers

Episodes

Each episode looks at the process of putting together a live show for some of the industry's biggest stars, including a look at how the teams that work on these shows are often down to the wire trying to pull off something that hasn't been done before.
