Episode 372 is up and live now with yours truly trying out a monologue style episode to discuss the monumental experience I had last week going to see Metallica for the first time up at Lumen Field in Seattle. I drove up to the woods to sit and ponder this event and then laid it down on the ol' zoom recorder in the truck like the old days. It was a wild ride to say the least and a fantastic night with great friends and some new ones made. Ran into my dude Brock Lindow from 36 Crazyfists and his daughter in the snake pit, the homeboy Ryan J. Downey came along as well with his daughter, Dave and Brian from Botch showed up for dinner and my boy Mike Mowery set it all up for us and I am eternally grateful! The life experiences I live through doing this podcast continue to astound me and I am thankful to each and every one of you for making the show a success.

In this week's episode hosts Blasko and Mike Mowery assess Paul Resnikoff's article “Why A Major Label Doesn't Want to Sign You”. Let's dig in… The major labels — Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment — are sometimes referred to as the ‘big three'. They own a bunch of other sub-labels and have major publishing interests as well. They are big-time global entities. Generally, major labels have more money and stronger relationships with platforms like Spotify. In fact, they own a major portion of Spotify, and can push a priority artist into coveted playlists. There are also independent labels, often called ‘indie labels'. Those labels have far less marketing power, but can be a better fit for many artists. So here are some reasons why a Major might not be a good fit for you… Reason #1: You're ‘difficult' and/or don't work hard. This isn't the old music industry anymore. There's less money to invest, no more $16.99 CDs to sell, and way more pressure to show results. So artists not only have to carry their weight, they have to work well with others and work hard. Not even music managers are willing to be babysitters anymore. Some of the biggest managers in the business flat-out refuse to deal with divas. Reason #2: You're not playing the game right. I wish this world was perfect and everyone got a fair shot But it's absolutely, positively not a fair game. That said, there are ways to game the system in your favor. For starters, don't always go directly to the front door of a major label. An alternative approach is pairing up with a major manager. That manager will then try to get serious consideration from a label. Sometimes those artists are signed to smaller labels, other times not. But the point is this: there are a lot of side doors that people don't use. Reason #3: There's no ‘data' on you. This probably should be #1 with a bullet. Because it's 100 times more important than meeting the right people or playing the game right. It's data. As in, are there people listening to you online, going to your shows, following you, remixing your music, etc.? Do your numbers show that? Reason #4: Your data is bulls—t Here's the thing: labels can sniff that out pretty fast. Oftentimes there are dead giveaways. And even if they do get interested based on fake data, they're going to realize there's a problem the minute the check out your show or see you in person. Reason #6: It's not a good match. Step back: do you really need a major label in the first place? In many cases, a major label will actually set you back. Do you want that? Because even if you do get signed, there's not guarantee of success. There's also a catch 22 here. Because once you have enough traction and data to get noticed, you also have the beginnings of a completely DIY career. And there are tons of reasons to stay DIY.

In this episode Blasko and Mike take your questions! Tune in for the discussions and answers from the following questions from listeners Rob, Cory, and Alex. Hey Blasko, long time listener of the podcast. I was wondering if you and Mike could talk about buying onto tours. Is it a good idea for a developing band? Is it essentially the same as pay to play or is it more like a deposit to reserve the slot? I've heard people mention it and I was hoping you could elaborate. ~ RobHey, absolutely love the podcast. My band listens while on tour and I listen all the time to get me motivated and pumped up. I would love to hear some advice on how to make the most out of a band music video premier. My band has done many video premiers during PR campaigns (even getting a premier on Metal Sucks, which is huge for us as an unsigned band) but even so it is hard to get traction with the videos. How do you make your video premier stick out among all the other internet posts happening on the website you premier on? Can you talk about your processes to make the video stand out on social media!? ~ CoryHey Blasko! Lately, my band has been having a lot of inner conflicts when it comes to a lot of things. One of them being song writing, and everybody being getting what they want when it comes to songs. As someone who's been in a few bands, how do you go about keeping everybody in the band happy, focused, and on the same page? ~ Alex--- Tune in to hear the insightful discussions and answers to Todd's questions.

This week Blasko and Mike take on a fan question from Todd, a loyal listener and 60 Days to Signable student (via Outerloop Coaching). Todd writes: Hey there! This is Todd, student of 60 Days to Signable and Unleash It Right and long-time listener of the podcast. My band recorded a 5-song EP with a well-known producer last year. We paid a lot of money for it and without really taking time to learn about the industry or business side of things, or consider self-releasing, we jumped the gun and signed with an indie label to a not-so-good contract. We soon realized that was a mistake. The release plan we had in place, which was a part of a PR campaign we'd already paid for, was scrapped (and we didn't get money back); the singles from the EP weren't released or supported well. We pressed physicals on our own (the label didn't want to), and we didn't know about UPCs at the time, so we have about 200 copies left without barcodes that we can't report. About a month before the EP's actual release, we lost two members, one of whom was the singer on the album. A couple of months ago we talked to the label and secured a release. We decided (again, hastily, I think) to just give up rights to the EP because we didn't have the same members anyway. Looking back, I think that was a mistake because the label didn't pay for any part of the recording/production, etc. of the EP. Now, we're debating whether or not to approach the label to buy the rights back. We have new songs, but we feel that EP could have been so much more than it was... especially with the knowledge I now have from 60 Days and Unleash it Right. Our thinking is that we'd use the stems we already have from the EP (FX & drums), then re-record the guitars/bass (maybe in a lower tuning), and also have our new vocalist do his version of the vocals, and get everything re-mixed & mastered. So my questions: (1) In terms of "masters"; let's call the masters we gave up as Set A, and the ones we'd hypothetically redo as Set B... would they technically be separate sets of masters? To where we wouldn't necessarily have to buy the old ones back? Or would they be re-recordings? (2) Is it worth our time to worry about it, or should we just accept our mistakes, cut our losses, and focus solely on new material? We do have two new tracks we're planning the releases for currently. But, we also feel there's more that could be done with the old EP, and that giving up on an investment isn't necessarily the best idea... but also chasing a dead one might not be either. Sorry for the length of this email! Thanks for your time and always awesome insight. Best, Todd --- Tune in to hear the insightful discussions and answers to Todd's questions.

Article: 11 Things Millennial Musicians Just Don't Get https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/07/27/millennial-musicians/ By Ari Herstand, author of How To Make It in the New Music Business, a Los Angeles based musician and the creator of the music biz advice blog Ari's Take. Follow him on twitter @aristake In this episode Blasko and Mike Mowery discuss tips and strategies for how to succeed in 2018 as they dive into the following points made by Ari Herstand's article “11 Things Millennial Musicians Just Don't Get” and learn how to come out on top in the new year. 1) Spotify Plays Don't Equal Fans I can't tell you how many artists I see on Spotify with hundreds of thousands or millions of streams, but can't get even 100 out to their local (or any) shows. Or get anyone to back their crowdfunding campaign. Or support them in any way whatsoever. These listeners are not fans of the artists, they are fans of the playlist these songs got included on. 2) Your Branding and Story Is More Important Than Your Music People judge you based on your aesthetic, story and image long before they hit play on one of your songs – if they even make it that far. Your branding (which includes your image, your story (!!), and really your overall aesthetic) are what non-musicians (bloggers) talk about. They ain't talking about your drum tones, syncopated rhythms, plugins or mix techniques. 3) Your Follower Numbers Don't Matter As Much As Your Real Life Numbers Don't tell me how many followers you have. All I care about are how many fans you have who are willing to support your career. 4) You Don't Have to Follow Musical Trends to Make it Don't make music you think people want to hear. Make music that is meaningful to you. You can find your audience. Or rather, the audience will find you if you market it properly. 5) The Goal Is Not To Get Signed The Goal Is To Make a Living Doing What You Love If your goal is to get signed, then you're going to miss. If after building your career on your own to a level where labels are begging to work with you, then, and only then, should you decide if it's the best move for you. 6) If All Your Eggs Are in Instagram You're Doomed Yes, Instagram is the hottest social app out right now. At one point the only online presence that mattered for musicians was Myspace. Those that didn't grab their fans and transfer them to a database they owned (i.e. email list) lost contact with all their fans when Myspace died. Don't ignore the social sites where your fans exist, but also have a way to keep in touch with them that isn't dependent on the whims of the latest hot social app. Email any questions or comments to askblasko@gmail.com Find Blasko on Twitter and Instagram: @blasko1313 Find Mike Mowery on Twitter and Instagram: @mikeoloop Want to get your band to the top of the charts with your next album release?

In this week's episode Blasko and Mike take on questions from listener and aspiring manager, Zach. His letter reads: I understand there are "friend managers" that take on the title early in a band's career who are only in it to hopefully ride the coattails of their creative buddies' success...and not really deserving, nor qualified to take on the work and responsibility that comes with being a good artist manager as you've outlined in previous episodes. I am referencing the up and coming artist manager who is in the trenches daily, fighting the good fight to break their client and handling all business aspects of their career as a champion of their music...The artist manager who is working to CREATE opportunities as well as manage them. With that in mind, the band that I am working with has been approached multiple times in recent weeks by an independent manager as well as an established management company...both of which have bigger resources and better relationships that I could never compete with. Personally, I would never want to hinder the growth of my client by becoming a barrier to conversations with potential partners due to my personal interests and fear of potentially being replaced...Also, I like to think that someone like me can be viewed as an asset to a potential partner...either way, I'm very interested to hear your take on it... Blask and Mike tackle the questions: Did either of you experience this type of situation early on in your careers when your management experience was limited? If so, how did you handle it? What are your thoughts on co-managing a band? Are open to co-managing if you believe the person was right for the job? Have either of you taken on a band who had a less established manager on their team?

How To Get Your Song On A Spotify Playlist by Ari Herstand: https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/06/21/spotify-playlists/ Welcome to another week of the ManageMental podcast with Blasko and Mike Mowery. In this episode the hosts tackle details every artist needs to understand about Spotify before trying to get on a Spotify Playlist. From the article: Streams are not equivalent to downloads or sales. When someone bought a song or an album it was because they were a fan of that song or artist. Fandom came first, typically, and purchasing came second. Now, streaming comes first, fandom comes second. “Consumer consumption no longer means fandom. It's not hard to stream a song. And it's not hard for a lot of people to stream a song [from] a popular playlist. That doesn't mean that you have millions of fans- it means you have millions of people who happen to hear your song. Who knows if they even dug it. So that all being said, how do songs get into playlists? How can you get your songs into playlists? Well, there are a few ways to go about this. First, you have to understand what kinds of playlists exist. There are 3 kinds of playlists on Spotify: 1) Spotify Curated Playlists The first category is something everyone is familiar with. These are the playlists “Created by Spotify.” 2) User Curated Playlists The second category are playlists created by users of Spotify (yes, anyone can create a playlist) or a company, blog, label, org, what have you 3) Algorithmically Generated Playlists And the third category are not human generated at all. These are the Discover Weekly, Daily Mix (which are actually customized per user) and Fresh Finds – which is generated based on tastemaker accounts. Open SpotifyIn the search bar type in your genre. In this example I typed in Death Metal. Scroll down to PlaylistsFind a playlist with a lot of followers. In this instance I found “Best of Melodic Death Metal” that has 7500 followers. Click on the creator. Make sure it's not Spotify. If their profile photo looks like it might be a Facebook profile photo you are on the right track. Copy and paste his name into the face book browser. You should be able to match the photo. If they are on Facebook, and most Spotify users are, then open their account. Direct message them. Using tactics from the last episode compliment their playlist and their taste in music etc. Build a relationship. Offer to pay to be added if necessary. Spotify publicly shuns payola but they are too large to police every playlist and independent curator.

When you attend a networking event, set a goal of having two or three meaningful conversations about your experience and goals for the future. How to leverage relationships: As you network and make connections, you'll need to know how to draw upon them to build your career. Keep track of the people you've met, how you can help them and how they can help you. How to write effective emails: Strong written communication skills are essential in the real world. “Being able to write a clear email or cover letter is a must to get the door open. No one wants to read long or poorly written emails in the workplace. Use exclamation points sparingly and never write in all caps. How to make small talk: “That seemingly awkward banter is the key to building meaningful relationships, Instead of asking what someone does at work, make your questions more specific. For example, try asking, “What's the coolest thing you've worked on in the past three months?”And when someone asks you a question, give an interesting answer — tell the story around your achievements. How to set realistic expectations: Undergraduates need to learn to set realistic expectations for their professional growth and development, and this is trickier than it seems. “Soon-to-be graduates need to understand that they will not instantaneously have the title, compensation or responsibility that tenured employees have.” Email any questions or comments to askblasko@gmail.com Find Blasko on Twitter and Instagram: @blasko1313 Find Mike Mowery on Twitter and Instagram: @mikeoloop Want to get your band to the top of the charts with your next album release?

Article: “17 Ways To Kill A Music Career” by Paul Resnikoff https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2014/06/09/17-ways-kill-music-career/ Blasko and Mike pick their top 5 ways to kill a music career (out of Resnikoff's 17). Follow along as they discuss the following points: 1) Relying on a label, manager or anyone besides yourself to build your career. Even with a label deal, bands can find themselves de-prioritized, or flat-out ignored. But these days, labels rarely sign bands that aren't successfully working and developing their audiences. If you're not investing in your music career, day in and day out, neither will a label. Which means that DIY isn't some alternative approach, it's essential for the survival, breakthrough, and growth of any artist. 2) Not selling merchandise. If you're not setting up a stand at all shows with a full range of merchandise, then you're missing out on serious income. This is money that could fill your gas tank and pay for food. Fans want to help you build a successful music career. But you have to make it easy for them. 3) Not being completely available. A good manager will feed you opportunities, online and off, because that's what you paid him to do. You need to show up to them, and feed the momentum. The era of the distanced, untouchable rock star has ended. 4) Being in it for the money. You're delusional and will probably make more money working at McDonald's. The reality of this business is that an extremely large percentage of artists are poor, and most of the successful ones were poor at one time. Even worse, sometimes a successful music career means survival, not lavish luxuries. All of which means if you're not motivated by the the music, the passion to create and play, and the camaraderie of it all, you should honestly be doing something else. 5) Paying to inflate Twitter followers, Facebook likes, DatPiff downloads, and YouTube views. Labels, venues, and potential managers are all-too-familiar with these scams. But more importantly, paying for fake followers distracts precious resources away from developing organic fans, the lifeblood of any successful artist. Without real fans, you don't have a real band, period.

https://www.musicclout.com/contents/article-377-defining-success-and-how-to-achieve-it-with-a-career-in-music.aspx In this episode Blasko and Mike tackle the subjects presented in Carlos Castillo's article “Defining Success and How To Achieve It with A Career In Music”. Follow along as they show you the ropes from personal experiences and give context to the article, to help you define your own success. The first requirement for being successful in anything is to define what success means to you. That is one of the biggest challenges musicians face today. There is no standard to follow. It's not like going to college, where there is a defined set of measurable parameters. You attend classes, you pass exams, you write papers, and after completing all of the requisite steps you succeed in earning your degree. That's an ideal scenario where you can demonstrate that you are making progress and, therefore retain the ever so important support of your friends and family. Unfortunately, the pathway to a career in music isn't so cut and dry. So how do you turn music into a viable option as a legitimate career choice and convince your friends and family (and more importantly yourself) that you can and are succeeding? Here are a few traits that you need to embody if you are going to go against the grain and make music your full time income. Avoid Self-Deprecation.Always remember that you are your own worst critic. When you are in front of other people, the last thing you want to do is feed their beliefs that you can't make it as a musician. Show No Fear.“confidence is key.” That's how you accomplish the impossible. The fear will alwaysbe there. Once you know that, you can choose not to let it control you. Be Authentically Confident. In the business world they say, “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” It is because of the peripheral psychological effect that comes with dressing and acting the part to which you aspire. The same thing goes for music. You wanna be a rock star? Then start acting like one. Maintain your performance persona from the moment you walk in the door until the last embers of the after-party die out. The trick here is that you have to believe it. Welcome Criticism. Nothing helps you learn and grow faster than constructive feedback. It's easy to get lost in the universe that you create with your music. Of course, that universe can easily be shattered when it collides with the “real world.” Develop Your Talent.You must commit to spending time every single day practicing your craft. I know there is a lot of other stuff to do like performing, networking, booking, marketing, and tweeting. But it's all for naught if you aren't consistently creating mind-blowing music and advancing your skills.

Blasko and Mike get into more listener questions based on the costs associated with being in a touring band. This week the question comes from new listener David Woolfall who writes: “I just discovered your podcast via an ad on the Lead Singer Syndrome podcast. I've listened through maybe half of the podcasts so far and they're great! I am not in the music industry at all just an interested spectator. I have questions related to money… I would love for you to give an example of a small band income vs. expenses ie. A band that can sell 500tickets 1x or 2x a year in a place like Denver. How much does this band earn from the venue, merch, VIP, etc?Lets assume they get minimal radio play so that their music sale income is Spotify + iTunes.What does it cost them to tour, hire a few techs, gas, food, some hotels or an RV?Basically, do most band members have regular jobs at home to make ends meet?

Reference Article: https://bandzoogle.com/blog/social-media-marketing-for-musicians-how-to-get-more-fans-on-instagram Mike and Blasko tackle basic marketing strategies on Instagram for musicians. Follow along as they go through each point with real world examples and in-depth details so you can make your own account stand out from the crowd. Pick a Username Pick something easy and predictable. All of your social media handles should make sense together. Don't add numbers, symbols, or underscores if you don't need to. Get a Decent Profile PhotoInstagram profile photos are relatively small and users can't click on them to blow them up. Use a profile picture that is easy to see on a standard-size phone. Use a band logo or photo that is clear and easy to make out. Leave a Bio that Makes an Impression Your bio can only be 150 characters - almost the same length as a tweet. Write something that leaves an impression. You don't have to take up the whole space either. Website Link With a social platform like Instagram, it can often be hard to explain what you do through a photo. People will see snapshots of your life, but they won't necessarily get a well-rounded idea of what you do for a living or who you/your band are. This is why a link is so important. Give people a way to find out more about you. It will most definitely enhance their appreciation of your photo posts.

Welcome to the second episode of the Manage Mental podcast. A weekly discussion on hot topics in the music biz for the up and comers, the brand newbies, the beginners and aspiring rock stars of tomorrow. Let us help you uncover some of the mystery that is this competitive business of rock and roll. Hosted Mr. Blasko (www.mercenarymanagement.com) & Mr. Mike Mowery (www.outerloopmanagement.com) Today we cover the Digital Music News article written by Sahpreem A. King, a multi-platinum music producer, DJ, and author of several industry books - How to Find a Skilled, Professional Music Manager to Guide Your Career We cover topics like what does a manager actually do and how to find a good one that will compliment your career path. http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2013/10/16/themanager/ Here are some points that we discuss! Having the right manager or management team is critical to the success of every artist. No single person, outside of the artist of course, is responsible for making dreams of success turn into reality, building a brand, and business around the artist than a manager. What's more, a manager should be the most trusted person or persons within your camp. In some way, they are the CEO of the brand, which is YOU! I think it is foolish to represent yourself, regardless of your experience or education level. The reason is simple: when it comes to themselves, most people are unable to be objective. The Duties of an Artist Manager The official definition of a manager is someone who handles the business aspect of your musical career, whether you are a solo artist, DJ, band, or producer. Artist managers serve as intermediaries between the artist and the music industry. In many cases, managers are responsible for procuring artist's record and publishing deals, songs to record, shows, producers to work with, and other career advancing opportunities. Signs of a Good Artist Manager Here is what you should be looking for in your potential manager: should have a degree in music business, an MBA, or years of experience as a former music executive or successful artist. should have an office wall lined with platinum awards of the current or recent artists he or she has represented. must have an intricate understanding of the music industry. Especially contract and intellectual property law, deal making, publishing, royalties, booking, touring, accounting, and marketing and business planning. must at least have a business card (I kid you not), a legal business address, a client list (verifiable of course), and a detailed plan as to how they are going to take you from zero to “Guitar Hero” in a reasonable amount of time.
