The salary for a music producer really varies! First you start producing for free, then when someone pays you, it might be as low as $20,000 per year. Teally successful producers can make over a $1 million dollars per year. I've heard that the average is around $60,000 to $70,000 per year, which means that most music producers are making enough money to get by, and there are very few who can make a lot of money by producing music.
