Podcasts about disc makers

A year ago, Spotify decided they weren't going to pay royalties on tracks that streamed less than 1,000 times. Instead, those royalties would go to other artists proportionately to their streaming totals. Our friend Tony van Veen, CEO of Disc Makers, recently calculated that in 2024 alone, this resulted in $47 million in independent artist royalties being diverted to (mostly) the majors! He went public with this data, Spotify actually responded, and Tony put them in their place. I'm excited that Tony will be our guest on Monday's TAXI TV. We've been close friends for at least 25 years, and he's one of the smartest business people I know. He's also a true champion of indie musicians! Tony and I will be discussing his findings – and whether there's anything artists can do about it.

A proud alumnus of Drexel University, Carter furthered his education with a Master's in Business Administration, specializing in Entrepreneurship, from Syracuse University in 2023.

I saw a great interview with a music supervisor talking about why vinyl is so desirable and making a strong comeback. I thought he was so articulate and informative, that I'm meeting him for lunch in exactly 2 hours (rushing to get this written, lol). I'm going to ask him to speak at this year's Road Rally, November 7th – 11th in Los Angeles. I'm also going to ask him to play a bunch of TV commercials and explain why the music was used and how the ad agency picked it. You see, this music supe mostly does big TV commercials! After watching the interview, I called Tony VanVeen at Disc Makers (their CEO) to ask him if vinyl was indeed making a strong comeback, and to my surprise, he said it was booming! And that's why I've asked Tony to be my guest on this week's TAXI TV! I want to know why vinyl has become a “thing” again, and if it's something all musicians should consider. Win a Vinyl Package from Disc Makers? Tony has kindly offered to give a FREE vinyl pressing to one of our viewers during this week's show. The lucky winner (drawn at random from our chat room audience) will get 100 vinyl records, full-color labels, black vinyl, color jackets, white inner sleeves, and poly wrap. The artist only pays shipping. Extras like fancy colored vinyl or special effects like splatter vinyl, or heavy 180-gram pressings are all possible upgrades, but the winner will have to cover the cost of any upgrades.

In it for the long haul? The experts at Disc Makers share practical, actionable ways to triumph as an independent artist in this free "29 Tips For a Long and Successful Music Career" guide: https://bit.ly/49qvMOF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why am I not surprised that Spotify plans to pay even less to "lesser" artists soon? Talks between the streaming giant and the three major labels have been ongoing for some time, and rumors have been making the rounds for months. Now, it appears that Spotify will be lowering the rate paid to indie artists. Most likely, that means you! Disc Makers CEO, Tony van Veen was going to do a sponsor presentation on this very topic during the Road Rally Sequels last Monday, but getting him in front of a webcam in the time slot we had, proved to be tighter than our tech. set-up allowed for. So, we've moved his presentation to this week's episode of TAXI TV, live at 4pm Pacific, 7pm Eastern time. I know Tony well enough to know he won't just tell us the bad news. He'll likely have suggestions of alternate ways for indie musicians to earn income from their music. He's a very bright guy, and a "recovering" indie musician himself, so I look forward to hearing his take on this touchy subject. Please join me for what looks to be an informative episode on this somewhat shocking news!

In Episode 42, we talked about the importance of memorization as a musician, but didn't really talk about HOW to memorize music.  Like almost every musical skill, memorization is very easy for some musicians while very difficult for others.  This episode talks about the importance of getting your eyes in the right place, mindfulness, engaging your senses, and other tactics that will help you become better at memorizing music.

Since I've self-published five books at the time of this writing, I was interested in the large sign I saw for BookBaby. I was in Nashville, TN at our NSA (National Speaker's) Conference and asked if BookBaby was somehow related to CDBaby, which has been one of the top sites for independent artists to release albums. I've released a number of them through that organization. Sure enough, CDBaby was related to BookBaby as well as a company called DiscMakers, all a part of the DIY Media group. To make all this less confusing, the DIY Media group is the umbrella over all these organizations. I thought it would be very interesting to create an interview with the head of BookBaby and was fortunate to interview the CEO and president, Tony Van Veen. Tony has spent the past three decades of his life helping independent authors, musicians and filmmakers publish, distribute and promote their own books, music and films. My first guess as to his background would not be that he used to be a punk-rocker. He looks anything but that, currently. Tony started at the ground up in the company, and stayed with the same organization, rising through the ranks to become the current CEO. He even went through two rounds of private equity ownership and took the company private again. He still loves what he does after thirty-five years, somewhat of as an outlier as he has not jumped to work for another organization. I wanted to find out why he stayed and a little about his journey! Here, we cover four principles that contribute to his staying power.

Tony Van Veen/December 18, 2013 Joseph A. Gervasi interviews Tony van Veen of the early-… The post LOUD! FAST! PHILLY! Episode 45: Tony van Veen of Kremlin Korps, Homo Picnic, Disc Makers, CD Baby appeared first on Cinepunx.

Tony Van Veen/December 18, 2013 Joseph A. Gervasi interviews Tony van Veen of the early- and mid-’80s hardcore punk bands Kremlin Korps and Homo Picnic. Tony grew up in Aruba and Holland moved to the Philadelphia to attend college at Penn. There he discovered the early ’80s Philly HC scene and soon became a member Kremlin Korps (which featured past L!F!P! interviewees Stacey Finney nee Gold and Rich Hoak) and later the absurdly-named Homo Picnic. It was the blasting fury of the band Y-DI that served as Tony’s introduction into the scene and it was thanks to hardcore that he developed a lifetime interest in the DIY culture and ethos. As Homo Picnic was winding down, Tony came to work for Disc Makers, who later partnered with CD Baby. These companies have allowed innumberable bands (as well as writers and filmmakers) to get their product pressed, packaged, and sent out into the world. Tony is now the CEO of Disc Makers. His love of DIY culture has fueled him all these years and his forward-thinking has allowed his company to adapt to the ever-changed demands of consumers as well as the radical changes in technology. Tony’s interview is good-natured and filled with insights into the music industry as well as the wild world of the Philly HC scene of yore.     The post LOUD! FAST! PHILLY!
