Welcome to Music Business!
This podcast is all about exposing the deep-rooted issues in the music industry—gatekeeping, exploitation, and outdated business models—while exploring how independent artists and new technologies are dismantling the system.
Through investigative deep dives and candid conversations, we’ll uncover the hidden tactics labels and platforms use to maintain control—shady contracts, playlist manipulation, algorithmic bias, and even conspiracy theories about industry plants, suppressed artists, and manufactured success.
Featuring artists, insiders, independent label heads, and tech innovators, we’ll break down the dualities of the business: industry vs. artist, fans vs. corporations, and tradition vs. innovation. From streaming and direct-to-fan models to AI-driven music creation, we’re here to ask: How do we reclaim the sound and what does the future of the music industry look like?
”Reclaim the Sound. Dismantle the System.”
