How does niche music reach millions on TikTok? In this discussion from 2022's DIY Musician Conference, CD Baby's Chris Robley spoke with Jeremy Carter-Gordon of the vocal group Windborne. Not only have Windborne's videos gone massively viral, but the group grew their TikTok audience while staying true to how they want to perform and represent their music. In other words: Windborne didn't work for TikTok. TikTok worked for them. And in this session, we break down the story, the strategy, and their editing and caption tricks. We also analyze fun example videos along the way!

In this episode, which was recorded at the 2021 virtual DIY Musician Conference, Jackie Venson details how she adapted for continued success during the uncertain times brought on by the pandemic. Not only has she maintained her career trajectory, but it has thrived in new ways she didn't expect.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Cinders over Zoom video! Salt Lake City indie-pop-rock trio (and three best friends) Cinders recently released their rowdy new single “Growing Up”. Doused in melodic hooks and nostalgia for younger years, the track highlights the trials and tribulations of getting older, the societal and self-imposed pressures of adulthood, and the struggle of not losing yourself in the process. “Growing Up” is available on all DSPs. Growing up can be hard at times. The nostalgia of being a kid has been on our minds a lot lately. No bills, no jobs, no responsibilities. While writing the lyrics, we wanted to make the song feel different as well. It's probably the most technically difficult song we've ever written because of all the changes throughout, but it makes it so much fun to play.- Cinders Produced by the band and mixed by GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Phil Joly (Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey, The Strokes), “Growing Up” is the first taste of new music since releasing their 2018 sophomore album Looking Forward to Looking Back. With two albums under their belts –including their 2016 self-titled debut –and another in the works, Cinders has toured the country extensively, captivating audiences and building a dedicated grassroots fanbase. The band's infectious excitement and upbeat energy also caught the attention of NPR's Bob Boilen, who glowingly reviewed the band at the DIY Musician Conference in 2018. Stay tuned to www.cindersmusic.com for all up-to-date information on new music, performances and more. We want to hear from you!

Antes de que existieran las plataformas digitales de música, las bandas y artistas tenían que buscar maneras muy creativas para hacerse conocer. Aún mas, cuando estas bandas eran independientes o de una capacidad de alcance menos alto. Hoy en día, no es nada diferente, pero sí hay formas de hacerlo de una manera eficaz para poder llegar a mas oídos. Este episodio fue grabado durante un corto receso en el DIY Musician Conference de CD Baby en Austin, Texas. Tuvimos la oportunidad de sentarnos con Johanna Rivera, la representante de CD Baby para Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y República Dominicana, para hablar sobre las diferentes maneras como una banda o artista independiente puede salir adelante en una industria tan saturada.

I'm proud to announce Season 2 of the Music Business Hacks podcast. This time, we're taking a slightly different approach. Instead of having a daily show, we'll be following the career of three very different artists. They're each receiving six months of coaching from me through the DIY Musician Accelerator program so every episode will focus on direct advice given to a musician in different stages of their career. We're providing complete transparency so you'll be able to hear in near-realtime what is and what isn't working for artists. Of course, I'll still be focusing on information, inspiration, and application for a music career, but we're now diving deeper than ever and focusing on tactics that scale. Check out the artists I'll be working with here: Darro Maxximo Aspen Jacobsen And don't forget to register for the DIY Musician Conference where you can join us to hear the final results of this six month program as well as get information on how you can be a truly independent musician!

You can learn a thing or two (or seven) when you hang out with 1000+ DIY musicians for an entire weekend. In this episode, Kevin and Chris talk through their "takeaways" (which is an annoying word for "lessons") after the 2019 DIY Musician Conference in Austin, TX. Plus, the hosts get stumped, criticized, and praised during the listener calls and emails segment.
In the music streaming era, how do fans find out who’s playing on their favorite tracks? What happened to all the credits that used to fill album liner notes with fine print? Finally, there’s an IMDB for music: Jaxsta. CEO and co-founder Jacqui Louez Schoorl sat down with podcast host Dmitri Vietze in a quiet corner at DIY Musician Conference to tell how she went from working on Star Wars to building the world’s largest official database for music credits. Jaxsta puts music discovery tools back into fans’ hands, so you can follow the sounds and artists that matter to you. Track down that amazing backup singer and that killer sax player and listen to everything they’ve ever worked on! Jacqui has years of experience in the film and music industries, so she knows why credits are critical for crew and performers, too. Find out how Jaxsta works with data partners to get authoritative credits, what’s next for Jaxsta as a business, and how music discovery might change thanks to the rabbit holes that Jaxsta opens up for avid listeners. What will you discover? Go digital cratedigging at jaxsta.com.

Bob Boilen and I are back together again to share some of the phenomenal new music we've been hearing, starting with Brittany Howard's stirring and inspired "He Loves Me," from her upcoming solo debut Jaime. She named the album after her sister who passed away when they were both teenagers. The music is a celebration of the human spirit.Also on the show: Big Thief surprises us with the band's second album of 2019 and this one is fierce; Bob is back from the DIY Musician Conference with a couple of discoveries: a playful, idiosyncratic British artist known only as EB and the singer-songwriter Anna Larson, who has a powerful reflection on mass shootings called "Acting Alone."We've also got new cathartic sounds from The Messthetics, the Philadelphia-based band Queen of Jeans and more. — Robin Hilton

Durante los últimos años, las convenciones de la industria musical se han convertido en un punto importantísimo a tomar en cuenta para todo aquel desea superarse en este ámbito.

Como músicos independientes, debemos ver estas oportunidades como inversiones a futuro en nuestras carreras. Te recomiendo altamente asistir a uno de estos eventos, no te arrepentirás. Una vez ahí, estas son unas de las recomendaciones a tener en cuenta.
Como antesala al workshop que realizaremos este 30 de agosto, Matías Moreno de Cd Baby Chile nos visita al estudio de Radionauta Online para introducirnos al mundo de la distribución digital y la nueva industria musical. Una entrevista que nos aclara todo lo necesario para iniciar un exitoso desarrollo profesional como músicos o sellos independientes, en una era donde la creatividad y el saber explotar los pocos recursos son virtudes claves para llevar a buen puerto el talento. Además nos comparte experiencias de su reciente paso por la DIY Musician Conference de Cd Baby realizada en Nashville durante los últimos días. - Beats de fondo cortesía de Charly Humos.

Are you thinking about going to a music industry conference? Have you thought about staring your own music conference? In this episode of The New Music Industry Podcast, I chat with Kevin Breuner of CD Baby who shares about the forthcoming DIY Musician Conference. Podcast Highlights: 00:14 – Introductions 00:30 – What is the DIY […] The post 106 – What is the DIY Musician Conference? – with Kevin Breuner of CD Baby appeared first on Music Entrepreneur HQ.
Us humans, we have all these labels for people, right.Us humans, we have all these labels for people, right.Some are mean like calling someone a nerd or a moron. Some are self-applied like goth or grunge. Some clearly state a specific spiritual philosophy like Christian or Pagan. Some are about ancestry, others skin color, still others define the generation you were born. We use these words as a way to categorize traits or behaviors and all of it is a way for our brains to create boundaries. Wars are fought, rallies are held, weddings are arranged, all in the name of these boxes we create. When it comes to business, the words that create our box, our brand are important too. We can incite love or hate, connection or ambiguity just by our choice of label, the words and actions that define us.Our guest today is in the business of creating these connections through stories that building better brands. Labels that describe him would be extrovert, connector, describer, storyteller. Dmitri Vietze has been building brands for decades. His business Rock Paper Scissors helps musicians, tech companies, and entrepreneurs of all kinds tell their story. In this episode, he’ll tell his.We’re glad you joined us!Listen Here:Here are some highlights:What childhood memories led Dmitri to start a marketing business? (2:45)Dmiti was born in Nashville, TN and lived there for the first decade of his life. His family then moved to Queens New York in the 1980’s. He spent his high school years there attending the New York City school for Music and the Arts (the high school from the FAME TV show). Dmitri was heavily involved in activism there speaking out against racism and cultural inequity. His activism involved a ton of public speaking, marketing, and sharing the story of the inequity he saw. After high school, he got a scholarship to attend the liberal arts college Antioch College with a focus on activism.What’s the origin story of Rock Paper Scissors? (4:10)At Antioch, Dmitri really drove towards the business maragement side of things. He still felt powerful about activism but he wanted to find a way to connect it with building a business. After college he took a job in Portland, OR. He started digging deep into the root of the music he loves. 80’s progressive hip hop used a ton of jazz samples so Dmitri started listening to more of that. That led to a love of African roots, afro-beats, and world music in general. Eventually, a record distributer asked him to use that knowledge to do PR work for their global clients. After doing that for a while he decided he wanted to pick his own jobs. In 1999, Rock Paper Scissors was born.Dmitri is known for wearing vibrant colorful clothing. Where does that choice come from? (11:45)Bright colorful cloths have been a think for Dmitri since he was a kid. He’s always just felt like it represented him and nis personality. As a business owner, he realized that people were noticing it and the bright clothes really proceeded him into business conversations. The work he does is creative, fun, and colorful. He wanted that to be represented in the visual palette people saw when he entered their space.How has the music industry changed in the time you’ve been connected with it? (13:45)The 90’s was really to boom of record sales and that feel off when online streaming of music became a thing. As physical record sales dropped, live music took more of a center stage. Huge festivals have been a thing and continue to bring in big bucks while offering artists of all sizes the opportunity to connect. The club scene has grown as well. In addition, digital sales have become more streamlined and paid for. Napster offered music for free, really hurting musicians, but iTunes, Spotify and other streaming mechanisms have monetized music in a way that ultimately help musicians. Another trend is that more and more musicians are publishing. Recording music and videos is easier which is great but it also means there’s a ton of competition. The best thing to do is just kep producing and marketing the music you create.How has Rock Paper Scissors Evolved? (21:55)Dmitri loves technology. Rock Paper Scissors developed a ton of tech to support their PR work. He realized that he could apply his systems not only to World Music but also to tech companies, and all kinds of other entrepreneurs. The stories are very much the same.How can businesses tell their own stories? (39:00) Don’t use cliché terminology. Start with the origin story and build from there Have someone else interview you and discover your own answers. Get that outside perspective Figure out what truly makes you unique Focus your story around a human. Give your listener someone to connect the story withRock Paper Scissors has focused on technology for music public relations but now you're serving pure tech companies as well. How do they connect? (21:55)Healthy tech brands tend to have four concepts at their heart: Equity, Transparency, Innovation, Networking & Research. This really isn't any different than the musicians we've always worked with. It seemed like an obvious fit so we connected with some tech brands and the results have been great.How has Rock Paper Scissors Evolved? (37:00)Dmitri wants to grow into the pure Tech PR business and he wants to continue using Storyfinding methods where the masses are telling the story of the business in a way that’s decentralize from the business itself.Mentioned in the episode: Fela Koti – Afro Beats artist Napster iTunes CD Baby – “The onramp to the music industry” Paren Lamb – Indy Coffee House Playlist DIY Musician Conference Jack Conte - Pomplamoose & Patreon Storyamp – Automated music marketing platform DeveloperTown – “Software is eating the world” The Innovators Dilemma & The Innovators DNA by Clayton Christensen Edelman Trust BarometerSpecial thanks to Dmitri Vietze for taking the time to share the Rock Paper Scissors story with us.The show was produced and edited by me Jeremy Goodrich.

He lived in a tiny apartment with about 200 neighbors. We had a drum set, amplifiers, and we loved to turn it up. Kind of can’t believe that the cops only showed up twice.

The first band Kevin Breuner joined after college, Smalltown Poets, received a Grammy nomination for their first album. That band has been through a number of changes throughout the years, but they're still active 20 years later. Kevin has also stayed active in the music scene, playing in a couple of bands in addition to Smalltown Poets. One of those bands, Hello Morning, recently got included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When Kevin joined CD Baby, digital distribution was in a nascent stage and CD Baby was an early adopter. That gave him a front-row seat to see how that innovation would go on to transform the music industry. Kevin is currently CD Baby's Director of Marketing, and he co-hosts their DIY Musician Podcast and helps to organize their annual DIY Musician Conference in Nashville. # As an accomplished musician and as someone who engages musicians on a daily basis through his work at CD Baby, Kevin is ideally positioned to give advice about how to stand out in today's music landscape.

Kevin Breuner, CD Baby’s Director of Marketing, has spent over 14 years in the music business. And, as an artist himself, he knows what challenges musicians face well. His band, Smalltown Poets, grew from being a local indie act to securing a major label deal, with their debut album selling over 200,000 copies and bringing them a Grammy nomination. Still, the bandmates couldn't sustain their music careers and had to split. Kevin knew there had to be platforms to help artists make successful careers, and eventually discovered, and later started working at, CD Baby. Today, Kevin Breuner leads CD Baby's marketing efforts and hosts their DIY Musician Podcast. On this Music Growth Talks podcast episode, Kevin talks about the opportunities Spotify and the likes present, seeing "how different platforms cause success in different ways", and embracing the strategy of getting people to listen to something instead of buying something. Listen to the show for tips on using streaming analytics, a teaser for this year's DIY Musician Conference, and much more. ⏯ Go to http://dottedmusic.com/2017/podcast/mgt86-cd-baby/ for the show notes and http://musicgrowthtalks.com to subscribe to the podcast.
