By Bob Gold, Principal   Some people dream of being part of the music industry. Frank Liwall made it happen. Today, The Royalty Network, Inc. represents over 700,000 compositions. His diverse clients ranged from Burt Bacharach to Run The Jewels. I think of Frank as an exquisite interpreter. One who listens and responds in the language of the artist and the brand allowing agencies and music supervisors to achieve the sound required to set the mood, define the product, and engage the audience.
