You should download my free TOOLKIT for new record labels... http://otherrecordlabels.com/toolkit   Thanks to LANDR for sponsoring this episode. landr.com/otherrecordlabels   Imposter syndrome is one of the biggest reasons people never start a record label. That quiet (or loud) voice asking: Who am I to do this? Why would anyone care about my taste, my curation, or my point of view? In this episode, Scott breaks down why imposter syndrome never really goes away—even for Grammy-winning label owners—and why that's actually good news. Instead of waiting to feel “qualified,” he reframes the conversation around what truly makes a record label valuable: your unique taste, your lived experience, and the specific combination of influences only you can bring to the table. You'll learn how to: Understand why imposter syndrome is normal at every level of the music industry Identify the unique ingredients that make your label different (genre, geography, format, values, and that all-important X-factor) Stop comparing yourself to existing labels and start owning your own curation If you've been stuck in analysis paralysis, feeling like an outsider, or waiting for permission to begin—this episode is your reminder that no one else can build the label you're meant to create. Because yes, we're all imposters. And that's exactly why your record label matters.   Branding Your Record Label (Why the Name Matters Less Than You Think) In Episode 2 of How to Start a Record Label This Year, Scott dives into branding—specifically how to name your label, define your identity, and build a brand that actually connects with the right audience. If you've been stuck obsessing over the perfect label name, this episode is your permission slip to move on. Scott breaks down why your name won't make or break your label, what does matter when choosing one, and how to avoid common mistakes that can slow you down before you even release music. This episode covers: Why most successful labels weren't built on clever names—but clear identity Practical rules for choosing a label name (logos, domains, searchability, and social handles) How niche, taste, and curation form the real foundation of your brand Using genre, geography, format, and values to “dog-whistle” to your audience Translating your niche into visual branding, design, and consistency Branding isn't just logos and colors—it's the sum of your taste, your mission, and the community you're building. When done right, someone should be able to spot one of your records from across the room and know it belongs to your label. This episode will help you stop overthinking, pick a name, define your niche, and start building a label identity that feels intentional, confident, and unmistakably yours.

Nevertheless, Carole says she found healing in her songwriting and believes that her life's purpose has always been to touch others' hearts through her work and to help them feel connected and less alone.

In this episode of Unlocked, Savannah Chrisley sits down with Stephen McWhirter for a conversation that's raw, honest, and unexpectedly hopeful. Stephen opens up about growing up in a complicated faith environment, walking through addiction, anger, and deep family wounds, and the long road that eventually led him to sobriety, forgiveness, and healing.Together, they talk about what it really looks like to rebuild your life when trust has been broken, faith feels confusing, and the past won't stay quiet. Stephen shares his story without sugarcoating it, from hitting rock bottom to learning that redemption doesn't always come in neat, cinematic moments. Sometimes it's awkward. Sometimes it's painful. And sometimes it's choosing forgiveness even when it feels undeserved.This episode isn't about having it all figured out. It's about grace, second chances, and the idea that healing can be a lifelong process, not a single turning point. If you've ever wrestled with faith, family, addiction, or the weight of your own story, this conversation will likely stay with you long after it ends.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on all our latest episodes!Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our show!- QUINCE: Step into the holiday season with layers made to feel good, look polished, and last—with Quince.

Sean Mason stands as one of the most compelling jazz pianists, composers, and record producers of his generation. A Grammy Award nominee, Bessie Award winner, and Bistro Award recipient, Mason has quickly distinguished himself in contemporary music through his innovative approach and profound connection to jazz tradition. His discography, highlighted by his critically acclaimed 2023 debut album The Southern Suite and Grammy-nominated collaborations, reflects an artist of significant impact on the global jazz landscape. Mason's musical journey began at age 13 in his native Charlotte, North Carolina, where he taught himself piano, influenced by gospel music and the music of Ray Charles. At 15, his talent led him to enroll in the JazzArts Initiative Camp in Charlotte, North Carolina. At age 17, Mason won the inaugural Loonis McGlohon Young Jazz Competition, an award that included an opportunity to perform as guest soloist with Delfeayo Marsalis. A pivotal moment arrived in 2017 while Mason was attending the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). He met Branford Marsalis, who was giving lessons there. Marsalis, recalling their encounter, recounted how Mason impressed him by quickly learning and memorizing complex pieces. Marsalis subsequently advised Mason to consider The Juilliard School, telling him directly: "You might want to consider Juilliard. Go to their website, put in your audition tape, and they will call you." He also contacted his brother, Wynton Marsalis, Director of Juilliard Jazz, asking him to "Be on the lookout for this kid." This significant endorsement propelled Mason to Juilliard, where he was accepted and enrolled in 2018, leading to his relocation to New York City for his studies. Upon arriving in New York in 2018, Mason quickly established himself in the city's jazz scene through his work as a sideman. Concurrently, he formed his own trio, featuring bassist Butler Knowles and drummer Malcolm Charles. This trio performed at notable New York City jazz venues such as Dizzy's Club and Smoke Jazz Club. From 2019 to early 2020, Mason's trio cultivated a dedicated following through a consistent after-hours residency at Smalls Jazz Club, performing every other Monday, from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM. This residency continued until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this initial period in New York, Mason also contributed as the pianist for the soundtrack of the 2020 Netflix film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. The years following the pandemic saw Mason continue his vital work as a sideman, touring globally with various artists and contributing to numerous album recordings. His versatility expanded into film and theatre; he served as pianist for the soundtrack of the 2021 Emmy-nominated History Channel documentary Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre, and the Netflix film Rustin. In theatre, Mason was involved in various musical roles for Broadway productions such as Hadestown and Phantom of the Opera.. During this time, Mason also served as musical director for The Soapbox Presents, a Harlem-based performing arts organization. In August 2022, Mason was recognized by NPR's Jazz Night in America as a member of their inaugural Youngbloods class, a sub-series featuring up-and-coming jazz musicians acknowledged for revolutionizing the genre. Also in 2022, Mason formed his quintet, the ensemble featured on his debut album The Southern Suite. This group, consisting of Tony Glausi (trumpet), Chris Lewis (tenor saxophone), Felix Moseholm (bass), and Domo Branch (drums), performed on a two-week tour sponsored and presented by Jazz at Lincoln Center as part of an initiative to develop new music. On October 27, 2023, he released his debut album as a leader, The Southern Suite, on Blue Engine Records, Jazz at Lincoln Center's in-house label. This marks Mason's emergence as a formidable bandleader, composer, and recording artist. Featuring his quintet, the album received widespread critical acclaim. Jazziz Magazine praised its "captivating blend of sophistication and raw emotion," noting its "contemporary jazz sound rooted in tradition while remaining utterly fresh." Paris-Move lauded it as "a powerful and sophisticated work" and "a masterpiece of contemporary jazz." NPR recognized the album as part of his "meteoric rise" and praised its unique sound. The Southern Suite is a deeply personal exploration of Mason's North Carolina roots, woven into a cohesive artistic statement. Mason's artistic contributions were further recognized with a Bessie Award in 2023 for Outstanding Sound Design and Music Composition for his work on The Jazz Continuum. His creative spirit continued to flourish in 2024 with two notable co-releases. He joined forces with poet Mahogany L. Browne for Chrome Valley, a project that uniquely blends jazz with spoken word. The same year, on August 23, 2024, Mason's collaborative album My Ideal with acclaimed vocalist Catherine Russell arrived on Dot Time Records. This duo album quickly earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. My Ideal was further honored with a 2025 Bistro Award for Outstanding Recording, with critics frequently commending Mason's "sophisticated and nuanced piano playing" and his profound ability to complement Russell's vocals through a deep understanding of jazz standards. Today, Sean Mason maintains an active and extensive international performance schedule as a bandleader and solo artist. He consistently presents at major jazz festivals and prestigious venues across the globe, solidifying his position as a dynamic and influential force in contemporary jazz.

SPIRIT ANIMALJONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL by Neil Diamond (Columbia, 1973)There were alot of self-help manuals popularized in the 70's; I remember gifting my mother the book “Your Eronneous Zones” (but that's another story)…. My acting teacher in college based her syllabus on Eric Berne's “I'm Ok, You're Ok”. But one of the biggest New Age parables making the rounds was Ex-Aviator Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull, the story of an anthropomorphized Christ-like Seagull, who has to fly off from the pack to find his true self.It was a zeitgeist sensation, and spawned a movie with this soundtrack by the immortal Neil Diamond. Maestro Diamond is currently in the middle of a career renaissance - his biographical musical A BEAUTIFUL NOISE  is playing on The Great White Way, and although he struggles with Parkinson's he continues to work on new music. No one was bigger in the 70s, and although the 1960s Neil Diamond that I loved, the Brill Building song plugger who wrote and recorded Cherry Cherry, You Got to Me, and Solitary Man had seemingly transformed himself into a borscht belt crooner, there was no denying his powers of voice and composition, no matter how cheesy the venue (The Jazz Singer?)I chuckled ironically when I pulled this tape from the pile, anticipating mounds of Velveeta. But now, listening for the first time, I am moved to tears. (This is probably because all my youthful cynicism has given up the ghost). It's a beautiful musical meditation produced by Tom Catalano, and arranged by Lee Holdridge, and Neil's voice soars, aloft on chords of longing. Indeed, the album out-grossed the movie by 10 million dollars, and garnered the 1974 Grammy for Best Original Score, demonstrating that although the radio-controlled gliders representing the flying birds in the film might have been fake, Neil's inspiration was not.

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines this week with massive announcements lighting up the music world. The NFL revealed during Sunday night's Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers game that he'll headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show in San Francisco's Bay Area in February 2026, according to AOL reports. He teased it on X in Spanish, saying he'd do just one U.S. date, then confirmed with a video of himself on a beach football goalpost, posting Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026. #AppleMusicHalftime.This caps a huge week after Grammy nominations dropped, positioning him for history. Associated Press and ClickOnDetroit note his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned six nods, making him the first Spanish-language artist nominated simultaneously for album, song, and record of the year. It's only the second Spanish-language album up for album of the year—after his own 2022 Un Verano Sin Ti. Experts like Vanessa Díaz from Loyola Marymount University call it a breakthrough for Latin music, especially reggaetón and Latin trap from Puerto Rico's marginalized communities, now hitting mainstream Grammy categories.The album fuses Puerto Rican folk like bomba, plena, and aguinaldo with modern trap, described by Yale's Albert Laguna as Bad Bunny's most Puerto Rican project yet, challenging global pop formulas without diluting his roots. It supports his ongoing Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, hitting Tokyo stadiums in 2026 per Japan Travel, after selling 2.6 million tickets in a week—a record for Latin artists.These moves come amid his boycott of U.S. continental tours over ICE raids and deportations affecting Latino fans, as he told i-D Magazine, with hundreds detained in Puerto Rico since late January. Just a week before Super Bowl, the February 1 Grammys at Crypto.com Arena could cement his legacy, with professors like Petra Rivera-Rideau hoping it opens doors for other artists.Listeners, thank you for tuning in.

Maggie & John C. Reilly discuss “What's Not to Love?” Mister Romantic's debut album out now on Eternal Magic Recordings is a collection of beloved songs from the American Songbook reimagined by Reilly and his Grammy-winning band. “What's Not To Love?” was recorded in 2024 in Los Angeles at Nest Recorders and was co-produced by Reilly and Davíd Garza. In addition to Garza on piano and guitar, the band also includes Gabe Witcher on violin, Sebastian Steinberg on bass, and Charles De Castro on accordion and cornet.  CREATED BY JOHN C. REILLY“I looked at our weary world a few years ago and tried to think of a way I could spread love and empathy. I decided the most fun way to do that was through performing and singing and telling people I love them…so the emotional vaudeville show Mister Romantic was born, out of both hope and despair.”From studying theater as a kid growing up in Chicago, to amateur clowning as a teen and studying acting at The Theatre School at DePaul University, to his Oscar-nominated role starring in the film adaptation of Chicago and beloved performance starring in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, to his TONY-nominated performance in Sam Shepard's True West, and more, theater and music have been pillars of John's career. What's Not To Love? is a collection of gorgeous renditions of songs from the Great American Songbook backed by a band of multiple GRAMMY®-winners. On lead single “Dream” Reilly delivers a gentle, dreamy sea-side cover of the 1944 Johnny Mercer song, which has previously been recorded by Frank Sinatra and Roy Orbison.The album was recorded in 2024 in Los Angeles at Nest Recorders and was co-produced by Reilly and Davíd Garza (Fiona Apple, Sharon Van Etten). In addition to Garza on piano and guitar, the band also includes Gabe Witcher on violin (Punch Brothers, Rosanne Cash), Sebastian Steinberg on bass (Fiona Apple, Phoebe Bridgers), and Charles De Castro on accordion and cornet (Keb' Mo'). The 13 tracks include a pair of Irving Berlin songs, a trio of Tom Waits songs and many songs made famous by Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford and more. Reilly and this special band reimagine and re-embrace these beloved tunes and bring them again to another generation.About the Live Show:Prepare to be captivated by the incomparable John C. Reilly in Mister Romantic, a vaudeville show that has already garnered critical acclaim and captured the public's imagination. The New York Times calls the show "wryly funny, sometimes tender and sad, but always sincere" and Vanity Fair describes it as “fiercely funny” and says "John C. Reilly is one hell of a singer." Mister Romantic asks you to open your heart to the love all around you and marks a new chapter in Reilly's acclaimed career. Source: https://www.misterromantic.com/Source: https://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets--events/seasons-/2025-26/mister-romantic/Source: https://www.misterromantic.com/musicHost Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

For roughly half a century, the singer Rubén Blades has been spreading the gospel of salsa music to every corner of the globe. “You could say that Blades did for salsa what Bob Marley did for reggae,” says The New Yorker's Graciela Mochkofsky. “He brought it into the global consciousness.” This year, Blades's record “Fotografías” is up for a Grammy Award; should he win, it would be his thirteenth. Blades once ran for President of Panama and later served in the country's cabinet; he's also notable for bringing social commentary to the dance floor, from his earliest work to the recent “Inmigrantes,” a song about the impact of the climate crisis on refugees. And yet, he tells Mochkovsky, songwriters should beware of political messages. “Political songs are propaganda by definition. If you start singing about political ideology, you're not an artist—you're doing propaganda, basically. I try to be as close to a newspaper [reporter] as I can.”This segment originally aired on October 6, 2023.New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

As co-founder of Kelzana Artist Management, she's now revolutionizing how musicians build sustainable careers through strategic storytelling.  "Branding goes so deep," Tori explains, drawing from her film background to reimagine artist development.

Each selection reveals how music marks transformative moments and shapes our understanding of ourselves.
