This episode of the World Saving Podcast starts silly and quickly turns into a brutally honest look at the music industry in 2025. You will hear unfiltered talk about ego, gatekeeping, inflated touring costs, bus rentals, backline fees, and why festivals feel like a risky bet. It is part therapy session and part industry reality check. The conversation then widens into community, capitalism, and whether modern music lost its rebel spirit. There is talk about audience expectations, Live Nation headlines, club economics, and what it takes to keep a band on the road. Things get weirdly fun with reality TV chatter about Love Is Blind in Denver, a detour into aliens and UAPs (also known as UFOs), like Atlas, plus how AI and copyright are changing creativity and marketing. A timely call from comedy legend Todd Glass adds real perspective on progress, history, and why the next generation might actually fix some of this. It is raw, funny, and surprisingly hopeful.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines over the past few days with a whirlwind of activity that spans music, business, and personal life. The big news is his official announcement as Coachella's headliner for the 2026 festival, marking his first major live concerts in the US since 2022. According to NBC Palm Springs, he'll take the stage on April 11 and 18 alongside SZA and others, with Billboard and Page Six both reporting his record-breaking $10 million compensation, which he reportedly landed singlehandedly by negotiating directly with Goldenvoice, not through an agent. Rumors suggest this deal was driven and encouraged by his wife Hailey Bieber, who, according to US Weekly and Page Six, was a major reason he decided to accept — insiders described her as both the “driving force” and “incredibly supportive,” reminding him how much touring means to his fans and ushering in what some have called a new era where Justin calls all the shots.This Coachella momentum comes on the heels of new musical output. Bieber recently dropped a black-and-white video teaser for his SWAG II track “Speed Demon,” filmed on the actual Coachella grounds. He shared shots online of himself and Hailey strolling hand-in-hand across the field with their young son, Jack Blues Bieber, further fueling buzz for his festival appearance, as seen on his official Instagram and covered by ABC Audio. Musically, his album ‘Swag' re-entered the Billboard top 10 this week, driven by a newly expanded deluxe edition, as KUNR reports, underscoring the album's staying power after debuting two months ago.On the business front, Bieber's launch of a limited edition cannabis line called ‘Peaches,' in partnership with Palms, made the rounds on social media and in Vogue and BBC News. The singer revealed his goal is to make cannabis more approachable and to destigmatize its use, with a portion of proceeds benefitting criminal justice reform charities like the Last Prisoner Project and Veterans Walk and Talk.Financially, Bieber resolved a major chapter by reaching a $31.5 million settlement with former manager Scooter Braun. PEOPLE and TMZ confirm this ends a dispute over money Bieber owed Braun and HYBE, largely related to advances for the canceled Justice Tour and unpaid commissions. These revelations surfaced alongside the release of a new documentary that links Bieber's earlier catalog sale to Hipgnosis, in December 2022, to financial strain. Although speculation persists regarding the stress Bieber's facing, Braun told The Diary of a CEO podcast that Justin's decision to strike out on his own is respected and, after 15 highly successful years, the old team wishes him well.In short, every major headline is signaling a comeback—Justin Bieber is seizing control of his career, making bold moves in music and business, and returning to the spotlight with support from his family and fans.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In recent days, Justin Bieber has made headlines for a string of developments that signal his growing dominance as both a musical and business force. The biggest news is his $10 million personal deal to headline Coachella in April 2026, negotiated directly with Goldenvoice and bypassing an agent—a rare move for an artist of his stature, as reported by Rolling Stone and Netflix Junkie. Bieber will receive $5 million for each weekend, making him one of the top-paid Coachella headliners ever, and representing "a groundbreaking move for a headliner" according to insiders. His wife, Hailey Bieber, posted her support on Instagram Story with the exuberant tag “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :)” following the announcement, adding a personal touch to the milestone.On the music front, Bieber's seventh studio album “Swag”—released just two months ago—stormed back into the Billboard Top 10 after dropping an expanded deluxe edition, “Swag II.” The expanded album ballooned to 44 songs, over two hours of new Bieber music, riding streaming era trends, and “thanks to fans streaming all those new songs, the album leaps from No. 17 to No. 4” according to NPR. “DAISIES,” the lead single, remains in the top ten, and the new song “SPEED DEMON” debuted on this week's Hot 100 singles chart. However, reviews are mixed: The Observer called “Swag II” “underwhelming” and criticized its new sound, but did point out “SPEED DEMON” and “EYE CANDY”—a tribute to Hailey—as standout tracks. Rolling Stone described the album as “safe,” raising questions about Bieber's artistic ambitions versus commercial pressure.On the business side, Bieber's net worth has doubled in the past few years to $200 million, fueled by a combination of record sales, touring, a previous $200 million catalog sale to Hipgnosis, and brand deals. He personally severed ties with Drew House, urging fans not to associate him with the fashion brand. Meanwhile, Hailey's skincare brand Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, and Bieber continues to support Rhode through his social media platforms. In a new entrepreneurial move, Bieber partnered with Palms to launch a limited-edition cannabis line called Peaches, with some proceeds supporting criminal justice reform and charity, as reported in Vogue and BBC News.On the more casual and social side, Bieber stunned bartenders in Cambridge, Ontario, with a surprise pub visit for karaoke, followed by a coffee run with Hailey at Monogram Coffee Roasters. Local staff shared their excitement and characterized the couple as “laid-back,” and viral fan snaps spread across Instagram and TikTok, contributing to a wave of organic social media mentions.These events combined—Coachella's headline, a surge in chart success, album criticism, business shakeups, charity moves, and viral social moments—mark an era of renewed visibility and control for Bieber. Biographically, his direct Coachella deal and personal brand moves mark the most significant shifts, suggesting he's entering a new phase defined by autonomy, ambition, and a willingness to take risks both musically and entrepreneurially. Speculation about further surprise collaborations and more personal projects is circulating, but as of now official announcements remain pending.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

“Surround yourself with people you admire.” In this episode of Recording Studio Rockstars, I had the pleasure of talking with Brendan Duffey, a multi-Grammy-nominated mix and mastering engineer with nearly 30 years of experience. Brendan has worked with legends like Kendrick Lamar, Sheryl Crow, Milton Nascimento, and Bruce Dickinson—best known as the iconic lead singer of Iron Maiden and a legendary solo artist in his own right. Brendan brings a deep understanding of both the technical and emotional sides of music production. We talked about everything from his early days teaching audio engineering—where he learned how to explain complex concepts in simple ways—to his approach to mixing and mastering across different genres. Brendan shared what it was like to remix and master much of Bruce Dickinson's solo catalog, how he thinks about low-end in hip-hop, and why sometimes a mistake in the studio can lead to your most exciting creative breakthrough. He also opened up about how vocal production has changed over the years, moving from an auditory process to a more visual one, and why he believes simplicity, emotional connection, and knowing your tools inside and out are what really make a mix come alive. Brendan reminded me that mixing isn't just about the gear or the plugins—it's about bringing out the best in the performance and creating something that moves people. This was a killer episode with tons of great insight, whether you're just starting out or deep in your career.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's week has been a masterclass in blending music, business, and pop culture spectacle. Hot off the release of his seventh studio album Swag, Bieber dropped a visually striking black-and-white video for Yukon, directed by Cole Bennett and featuring his wife Hailey and their 11-month-old son Jack Blues. Shot over several days in Spain and Italy, the family-centric visuals underscore Bieber's new chapter of public domesticity, while Swag's commercial strength remains robust with the album debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and Yukon landing at number seventeen on the Hot 100, solidifying his continued musical relevance as reported by WAVT and other outlets.In the business arena, headlines broke when Bieber reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with his former manager, Scooter Braun, ending a drawn-out financial dispute. According to People magazine, Bieber agreed to pay Braun $31.5 million, resolving debts associated with canceled tour advances and unpaid commissions. The backdrop to this legal truce is Bieber's high-profile 2022 sale of his 291-song catalog to Hipgnosis for about $200 million, a deal widely reported as one of the industry's largest and, according to a recent documentary spotlighted by People, potentially motivated by post-tour financial pressures.Bieber's entrepreneurial streak has stayed hot. He's been teasing the upcoming launch of his new fashion brand SKYLRK on Instagram, posting product shots of hoodies, sunglasses, and accessories—a move that marks a shift from Drew House, his prior streetwear venture. As highlighted by People and Entertainment Now, Bieber's business pivot is accompanied by fan scrutiny—some users noted product similarities between SKYLRK and items from Hailey's billion-dollar Rhode Beauty brand, but both remain unbothered publicly.Public appearances have also kept the rumor mill spinning. Justin and Hailey made a rare joint appearance at the League X Blem basketball event in Los Angeles, where onlookers saw them sharing a kiss courtside, putting any rumors of strain to rest, as detailed by Just Jared and Elle. Social media lit up with affectionate snaps from the outing and Bieber's own playful posts, including shirtless selfies that drew teasing comments from Hailey and further fueled fascination about their dynamic, a topic covered in depth by TMZ and entertainment podcasts like Spreaker's Glow-Up Era.With Hailey's Rhode Beauty clinching a $1 billion acquisition by ELF Beauty in May, the couple's combined business empire and media visibility only seem to be growing. While speculation persists about Bieber's health and behind-the-scenes choices, the only constant is that every move—be it a new album drop, business deal, or candid family post—remains headline news and signals this is a pivotal year for one of pop's perennial icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

We are rewinding and playing back some of our favorite guests during the month of August and today we have our own Chief Creative Officer from way back when he was the creative force at Artiphon. Adam McHeffey, CMO of Artiphon, joins us to talk about the state of musical instrument innovation. Instruments like the Orba put music creation at the fingertips of hobbyists, allowing them to focus on enjoyment and self-expression rather than traditional album releases. We discuss the fusion of music and social media, and the new generation of creators redefining the art form. Lines between listening and playing are blurring, (see Ocean Eyes remix on Logic Pro X) pointing to a future where music engagement is akin to gaming, providing endless possibilities for interactivity and connection.   Shoutouts mentioned in episode: seids_ imsethdrums socialrepose   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

Cassie Petrey is the woman behind some of the most iconic artists' social media marketing including Backstreet Boys, Camila Cabello and Britney Spears. She is the co-founder of Crowd Surf, a leading marketing and music management firm. She's a fan girl whose admiration for the Backstreet Boys led her at age 12 to create a newsletter that reached fans worldwide — then years later she helped seal the band's decades-long superstardom by re-introducing them to next-generation fans. Cassie is a social media and artist management Hollywood powerhouse. She and her co-founder of Crowd Surf, Jade Driver, have been named to power lists in Variety, Billboard, and Forbes' annual “30 Under 30” feature. In 2022, the company launched its non-profit Career Development Program — a first-of-its-kind, no-cost educational series for people aspiring to work in the music business. “I worked fulltime the whole time I was at Middle Tennessee State University studying Music Business. I had been fortunate enough to get a job as a college rep at Warner Music Group my freshman year. I was doing that when, a couple months into college, I discovered a website called MySpace. I went to my boss and said, ‘Hey, why don't big bands use MySpace? You only see small, local and college bands using it. I think major label artists should use it, too.' And she said, ‘I don't really know what that means, but pick an artist. I'll connect you with their manager, and we'll figure out how you can manage their MySpace page.' “I was scared to ask her if I could do that or not, but I'm really glad I did because if I didn't, I wouldn't have been one of the first to market in this lane that has become so huge. I thought social media was going to be big, but I didn't think it was going to get to where it is now! “Looking back on it, it didn't seem such a big deal to me at the time, but a record label vice president, letting an 18-year-old come in and do all this work for their clients on MySpace and more? That's taking a certain level of risk, and I appreciate her taking that risk on me.”
