ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

John Rich (producer)

Did you ever make a drawing or a craft project, and you were really proud of it? Well, John Rich is kind of like that, but instead of making art, he makes music. He is a person who helps other people who want to make music, like singers and bands.

John Rich is called a "producer", which means he helps create the songs you hear on the radio. He works with singers and musicians to make sure their songs sound the best they can. Just like how a teacher helps you learn new things, John Rich helps the singers and musicians learn how to make their music better.

It's kind of like cooking too. You know how when you're making your favorite dish, you need the right ingredients so that it tastes good? Well, John Rich helps find the right instruments, sounds, and voices to make a song really awesome.

So basically, John Rich is a very important person in making music. Without people like him, our favorite songs wouldn't sound as good as they do!
