Top music producers will share what's on their minds at roundtable discussion

The first Los Angeles Times Music Producers Roundtable will take place Saturday with music industry visionaries Alex Da Kid, Ari Levine and RedOne at the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live. Just in time for the Grammys, Los Angeles Times pop music critic Ann Powers will lead the three in a conversation about their work with such musical heavyweights as Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Eminem, B.o.B and Cee Lo Green, today's trends in music and the state of the industry.

The event is open to the public with doors opening at 6 p.m. but seats must be reserved in advance. Click here to make your reservations. The Times also welcomes reader input, so leave your questions for the panelists in the comments field below or on the Pop and Hiss Facebook page, and Powers will select a few to use in the discussion.
