Zane Callister, the man behind Young Collective moniker, is an artist whose music resonates with me. After featuring him in several mixes, I decided to do him justice by dedicating an entire mix to the gift he brings to this world.

More than a composer, he is a storyteller. He uses music as a medium to create immersive and emotional experiences for his listeners, something I aspire to do in this show as well.

In this interview, Zane describes his creative process when scoring films or creating sync licensing pieces. I watched the interview after completing this mix, and it was a pleasant coincidence to hear him speak of how he would score a scene from one of my favorite TV shows, This Is Us. In this mix, you'll hear Zane's song, It Started With Silence, mixed around 2 pieces from the soundtrack to that show, which also happens to be one of my favorite soundtracks of all time too created by the brilliant Siddhartha Khosla.

Check out Zane's Young Collective music wherever you get your music. If you have a film project, check out his sync license music on MusicBed.
