Podcasts about music careers

In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter CJ Hooper to talk about building songs—and confidence—as an independent artist without rushing the process. We dig into how moving from Texas to Washington shaped his musical perspective, and why honest, story-driven country music seems to resonate no matter where you live.CJ and I talk about releasing Over Yonder, his second album just a year after his debut, and the surprisingly self-confronting experience of hearing your own voice back in the studio. We also get into early cassette-tape influences, playing in a band with musicians decades older than him, cutting his teeth at open mics, and slowly figuring out how his original songs want to live in the world. It's a conversation about patience, craft, and letting the work grow naturally—one song at a time.Music from the Episode:Burn it Down (CJ Hooper)Lookie Over Yonder (CJ Hooper)Rain Song (CJ Hooper)Thank you for listening.

Making a Scene Presents - AI Won't Kill Music Careers—Starving Artists WillAs we head into the New Year, it's time to take an honest look at one of the hottest and most misunderstood topics in the music industry right now. Every few months, the same cycle plays out. A scary headline appears. A new AI tool gets released. A video goes viral showing a fake song that sounds like a famous artist. Almost overnight, the mood shifts. The conversation turns dark. People start saying AI is going to replace musicians. They claim creativity is dead. They insist the soul has been ripped out of music and that this is the end of everything we care about. http://www.makingascene.org

In this episode, Lisa, Dr. Gangelhoff, Dr. Alaina, and Melissa discuss:Shifts in the music industry and its evolving futureEducational pathways for aspiring musiciansBuilding independence, resilience, and clarity for young creativesFamily roles and perspectives in supporting artistic career choicesKey Takeaways: Parents' fears often stem from only imagining extremes—either starving artists or Grammy winners—yet most successful musicians build stable, thriving lives between those two points.Gap years can be powerful when structured with clear goals and intentionality, but they risk becoming wasted time if the expectations of the student and their parent aren't aligned.Modern musicians must learn to independently create, release, network, and generate income streams before labels or gatekeepers will take notice.Many college music programs lag behind industry realities, leaving students to seek entrepreneurial, production, and tech skills elsewhere to stay competitive. “The thing that is always going to be in demand is creativity, interpretation, and emotion, and AI can't replace all of that, and artists have all of those things.” – Dr. Christine Gangelhoff“Sometimes the parents' reason for thinking about a gap year, or the child's reason for bringing it up, may not be aligned, and that's when you get that messy kind of wasted year.” – Dr. Alaina Johnson“The more we train our young adults and our young musicians to be entrepreneurial, creative problem solvers, the better they will be in this ever-changing industry.” – Melissa MulliganAbout our Guests:Dr. Christine Gangelhoff Website: https://mysoundpath.com/LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/christine-gangelhoff-4b89b324Dr. Alaina JohnsonWebsite: https://parentingtalent.com/Melissa MulliganWebsite: https://www.mastermindroad.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-mulligan-3ab018142/Episode References:How to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-HaimsGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

I'm your host Jack McCarthy and with me as always is my co-captain Circa, what's up dude?     Figuring out how to grow in your music career probably feels somedays like you're trying to hit a moving target. It can be, and here's why.   Theory of constraints - it's a management concept that can be applied to business. It says that a business, whether it's your music career or the restaurant down the street, is limited in achieving its goals by a small number of constraints or bottlenecks. Basically that a business only grows up to its constraint.   And when you apply the Theory of Constraints to a business, you look for the largest constraint or bottleneck to hitting your goals and remove that constraint first.   Business examples - supply constrained (i don't have enough staff) vs demand constrained (i don't have enough customers)   How to apply this candid conversation We do this all the time, literally OFTEN because it's so easy to get distracted different way of fighting shiny object syndrome Will doing X distract us/get us closer from/to our bigger goal of Y Ask circ of times he's helped an artist identify their constraints   not new ways to do x, why currently why y isn't working when you live in your problems, you get blindness how to look for the one big thing sidequests and skills - the dirty secret of the fitness industry attacking your goals head on

From the subjectivity of art to the way we interpret feedback, we break down how overconfidence or insecurity can sabotage collaboration, client relationships, and personal growth.

The primary focus of this podcast episode centers on the inherent challenges and realities of achieving success in the music industry. We explore the notion that possessing talent is an indispensable prerequisite for any artist aspiring to thrive, drawing a parallel to the world of sports, where innate ability is paramount. Furthermore, we discuss the pervasive misconception that simply uploading music to platforms such as Spotify guarantees fame and recognition; rather, we emphasize the necessity of consistent hard work and the patience to navigate the inevitable ups and downs of an artistic career. Our conversation also delves into the transformative experiences facilitated by TSX Entertainment, where we aim to create meaningful interactions between artists and fans, reminiscent of the vibrant entertainment culture of the past. Ultimately, we highlight how the surprise element in live performances can significantly amplify an artist's reach and impact, as evidenced by our successful events featuring prominent figures in the music industry.Takeaways: The music industry today requires inherent talent, akin to the demands faced by professional athletes. Uploading music to platforms like Spotify does not guarantee success without substantial effort and talent. Many individuals erroneously believe that simply sharing their music equates to achieving rock star status. The overabundance of music available does not necessarily correlate with a corresponding demand from listeners. Artists prioritize reach and growth over financial compensation when considering performance opportunities. Consistent hard work and patience are indispensable qualities for aspiring musicians navigating the industry's challenges.

Part of our 'Brand Voice Runway' series, this is Hersh's interview with Bree Noble, who quit her corporate job as a Director of Finance to pursue music. After a successful run as a touring singer/songwriter, Bree founded Women of Substance Radio to promote quality female artists in all genres. She hosts the Profitable Musician Show Podcast where she teaches musicians how to tap into multiple streams of income.

In this episode of Modern Producer Secrets, Adam Reifsteck sits down with composer Caleb Swift to delve into the intricacies of building a successful career in composing for TV and film.  A pivotal moment in Caleb's career was his association with Gargantuan Music, where his music was utilized in an ad for the largest crime-show crossover event of the year, the BBC Network Prime-Time Event "Casualty/Holby City". He discusses the importance of feedback from publishers and how it helped him refine his craft. This experience underscored the value of perseverance and continuous improvement in achieving success. Caleb also emphasizes the significance of building relationships with publishers and providing value to them, rather than directly approaching music supervisors. He likens this to forming trusted vendor relationships in any business. This approach helped him secure opportunities with top-tier publishers like Really Slow Motion Trailer Music, Hypersonic, and JDM, further elevating his career. Throughout the interview, Caleb highlights the competitive nature of the industry and the high standards required to succeed. He advises aspiring composers to focus on honing their craft, taking feedback constructively, and building strong professional relationships to navigate the complex landscape of music production for TV and film. Listeners will find Caleb's insights and experiences invaluable, providing a realistic and practical roadmap for anyone looking to transition from a side hustle to a sustainable career in production music. Producer & Host: Adam ReifsteckEdited in Descript.

If you're struggling to make the money you want in your music production business, have you ever considered that the reason you're not getting the sales you want is…you're selling the wrong thing?

In this last installment of her Music Careers series, violinist/violist, teacher, and host Laurel Thomsen explores music careers that are more "behind the scenes," as well as a few that don't neatly fit into other categories. Despite not necessarily placing us in the spotlight, most could become stand-alone full-time careers, or a supplement to a performance or teaching career. And, especially if we're not drawn to performance or teaching, I think this particular episode shows us options where we can still contribute, sometimes in very important ways. ~ For more information and info about her performances, recordings, and teaching, please visit host Laurel Thomsen's website ⁠⁠https://www.laurelthomsen.com⁠⁠ To check out Laurel's Violin Geek Blog, a companion to the podcast, sharing tips, insight and inspiration since 2007, please visit ⁠⁠https://www.laurelthomsen.com/violin-geek-blog⁠⁠ If you have a violin, viola, fiddle, music biz, or practice related question or topic you'd like to have covered on the Violin Geek podcast or in the blog, have someone you'd like Laurel to interview, or have a   story or insight to share, please send Laurel an email at laurel@laurelthomsen.com.

This week, the music management legend, Louis Walsh, joins Charleen and Ellie on Hold My Drink. Louis gives us all the gossip on what the X Factor was really like behind the scenes, including the judges and contestants on it, and the formation of huge bands such as One Direction and JLS. He gives the reason why it's not on our TV screens anymore, and talks about if we could ever see another Irish talent show like You're A Star or Ireland's Got Talent again. Louis explains why some artists have great success in the music business, and why others may fail. He also reveals his upcoming projects, as well as some of his favourite stores and restaurants in Dublin! The girls are answering a dilemma about feeling guilty for outgrowing a friend in Secrets From The Stalls, and they also decide whether a popstar life would be for them!

In this second installment of her Music Careers series, violinist/violist, teacher, and host Laurel Thomsen explores music careers and activities that require knowledge and skill in music, but not necessarily on one particular instrument. It's rare for even very talented musicians to be able to make a living at performance alone, so piecing together a variety of activities within our career is a great way to ensure our financial security, and stay passionate about everything we're doing. And even if we're not planning to make a career of music, we may find that being involved with music in ways beyond playing our instrument very fulfilling and supportive to our overall drive to keep music in our life.  ~ For more information and info about her performances, recordings, and teaching, please visit host Laurel Thomsen's website ⁠https://www.laurelthomsen.com⁠ To check out Laurel's Violin Geek Blog, a companion to the podcast, sharing tips, insight and inspiration since 2007, please visit ⁠https://www.laurelthomsen.com/violin-geek-blog⁠ If you have a violin, viola, fiddle, music biz, or practice related question or topic you'd like to have covered on the Violin Geek podcast or in the blog, have someone you'd like Laurel to interview, or have a   story or insight to share, please send Laurel an email at laurel@laurelthomsen.com.

Whether or not we plan to make a career of music, this series will be relevant for everyone! If we keep at it, we all reach a point where we're ready to take our music beyond the practice room, but as one of Laurel's students recently asked: "What can I do with this violin besides become Hilary Hahn or TwoSet?" Thankfully, there are many more options, and hopefully something for everyone, including for those who enjoy being in the spotlight, those who prefer group dynamics, those who want to be self-employed, and those who'd prefer to not have to think too much about the business side of their musical activities. In this first installment of her Music Careers series, violinist/violist, teacher, and host Laurel Thomsen explores performance based roles that require us to be skilled on our particular instrument. In future episodes in this series, we'll explore options that will require knowledge and skill in music, but not necessarily on one particular instrument. As Laurel has found herself, piecing together a variety of activities within our career is a great way to ensure our financial security as musicians, and stay passionate about everything we're doing.

The role of a music manager can be pretty tough; not only do you have all the hopes and dreams of your artists wheying heavy on your shoulders but you also do all the hard-ball industry negotiations and career strategising too - none of which you can ever be sure will actually work out.But as well as this, today's guest, Vanessa Threadgold, was also faced with an even bigger challenge throughout her career: how to make sure her female artists were protected against studio environments that, at worst, were unwelcoming and, at worst, down right exploitative and abusive. Inside this episode, Vanessa shares how this question led her to co-found Cactus City, a music studio and social enterprise helping women to have safer studio experiences and more opportunities to build a profitable music career too.  —------------------------Girls Twiddling Knobs is hosted and produced by Isobel Anderson with production support from Jade Bailey and Francesca O'Connor and is a Female DIY Musician Production.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{0:00} Intro{07:21} How Vanessa found her career in the music industry{18:07} Redefining success as a musician{33:41} What led Vanessa to set up Cactus City and create a safe recording space for women{52:15} In what other ways does Cactus City cultivate positive change in the music industry?{55:44} Maintaining a healthy work-life balance{01:23:26} How to start monetising your music{01:32:30} Ways to keep updated and get involved with Cactus City{01:33:59} Episode SummaryGirls Twiddling Knobs listeners get 10% off iZotope's award-winning audio plugins and a 30 day free trial of their incredible Music Production Suite 4.1.
