Understanding Money in Music - The Four Industries in Music

Today's episode is an edit from the first class in my new course, Understanding Money in Music. In this episode, you'll hear my story, the data that got me interested in studying the business of music, and you'll hear me dissecting a bunch of problems that I encounter when I'm working closely with musicians on their businesses and taxes. In this episode I begin to explain the four different industries in the music business and why a musician's tax return is more complicated than a lot of other businesses. You'll hear from a few of my students, and stay tuned at the end for a guided meditation on leadership.

Copyrighting your Album: A Live Consulting Session with Clare Maloney

On today's episode of When Songs Mean Business, Steph and her guest Clare Maloney sit down to copyright Clare's new album, Daybreaker. What happened during this episode was challenging, confusing, and by the end of it, very empowering. Like Clare says here, there's something really special about stamping your name on a piece of intellectual property.

The Art of Recording and Engineering with Andy Reed

Welcome to Season 2 of When Songs Mean Business!  On today's episode I am chatting with Andy Reed, a recording engineer, producer, singer, songwriter, and musician from Bay City, MI. He owns and operates his own recording studio called Reed Recording Company. Throughout his 24 year career, Andy has worked with hundreds of artists as a touring musician and in the recording studio, including a couple of my favorites, Brendan Benson and The Verve Pipe. Andy explains the different ways to mic, track, and record things, what a producer can bring to an incomplete song, how artists can evolve to sound different on every album, and how to relax into your creativity. We discuss his entrepreneurial journey over the past 16 years, what it's like to have a studio at home, and of course, what he's been listening to lately. I loved this conversation and I hope you do too. Please give us a follow on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube for video versions and clips of these episodes, and as always feel free to email me with questions, links are in the show notes.  How to Reach Andy: <a href="http://www.reedrecordingcompany.com/" target="_blank">reedrecordingcompany.com</a> How to Reach us: <a href="//stephbelcher.com" target="_blank">stephbelcher.com</a> Check out our courses: <a href="//stephbelcher.com/courses" target="_blank">stephbelcher.com/courses</a> Join the Discord server: <a href="https://discord.gg/C7h4hT89gd" target="_blank">When Songs Mean Business Discord</a>
