This poignant pivot, timed ahead of Christmas, underscores his biographical shift to faith-guided maturity amid family life with wife Hailey and 15-month-old son Jack Blues.Harpers Bazaar captured their cozy holiday vibes, with Justin posting family snaps of movie nights by the fire, twinkling trees, and Jack in festive Santa gear toddling onto a private jet, matching Haileys checkered pajamas.

Hes confirmed for Coachella 2026 headlining but wary of grueling tours separating him from family, favoring spot dates after a Halloween Twitch confession.

Why I'm Optimistic About The Music Industry Times are tough in the music industry—and there's no point pretending otherwise. Streaming payouts are shrinking, costs are rising, the economy is squeezing fans, and AI plus the distraction economy are reshaping how people engage with music. In this episode of Other Record Labels, I acknowledge the very real challenges indie labels and musicians are facing right now—and then I make the case for optimism.   PRESENTED BY LANDR - http://landr.com/otherrecordlabels I share five reasons why, despite everything working against us, I genuinely believe the future still holds opportunity for independent artists and labels. From the quiet resurgence of physical media, to the power of human connection, to why your unique label path may actually be the solution—not the problem—this episode is about perspective, resilience, and rebellion. If you've been feeling discouraged, burned out, or close to giving up, this conversation is for you. Because even when it doesn't make sense, we're still here—and that matters.   Sign up for Labelmates: http://otherrecordlabels.com/labelmates

In this episode of The Raven, we break down the latest Epstein file releases, media manipulation, and the recurring pattern of “golden apple” distractions used to derail truth-seeking. From political theater and selective outrage to Hollywood's long history of corruption and manufactured narratives, we examine why these stories resurface—and who benefits when they do.We also discuss discernment in the age of AI, information warfare, and why endless document dumps may be designed to exhaust rather than expose. This episode challenges viewers to look beyond surface-level revelations and focus on what actually matters in a culture driven by outrage cycles, psy-ops, and narrative control.Support the show, get early access, and join the private discussion:

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to Billboard and JubileeCast, the most biographically significant Justin Bieber development of the past few days is not a party shot but a post. In a widely shared Christmas season message, he wrote candidly about the personal cost of fame and declared bluntly I am not a product, criticizing how the music industry treats artists as commodities. He described feeling shaped, rushed, and used in his earlier career, but framed this as a story of healing, saying he has been restored through confronting pain rather than numbing it, and tying that process to his Christian faith, forgiveness, and a new sense of worth beyond chart positions. Commentators at JubileeCast say the remarks have resonated across the industry, positioning Justin less as a teen idol and more as a veteran voice in the broader mental health and artist rights conversation, a shift that could shape his legacy long after any single record.On the lighter side of the holiday news cycle, AOLs Christmas roundups placed Justin and Hailey Bieber on the cozy celebrity list, noting that the couple spent the holiday season together and looked very much a united front amid a year of constant speculation about their marriage. Entertainment outlets continue to recycle older December pap shots and travel sightings, but no major new public appearance or red carpet moment has been confirmed in just the past few days, and there are no verified updates on new business signings, tours, or deals in that same narrow window.In music and business context that is still driving headlines, The Honey Pop and Vogue Singapore both continue to spotlight his 2025 double albums Swag and Swag II as defining pop releases of the year, with more than forty tracks that reframe him as an R and B leaning adult artist rather than a nostalgia act, while earlier coverage from Music Business Worldwide and Parade underscores how his catalog sale and expanding fashion ventures have turned him into a full scale asset and brand. Looking ahead, fan and blog chatter about a 2026 Coachella headline slot, expanded Twitch livestreams, and new SKYLRK drops remains speculative only, with no formal confirmation from Justin or his team.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

I once had a conversation with someone about the craziest tours in the history of music…the usual names came up.   The who trashing hotel rooms…led zeppelin's tours with their private jet, groupies, and tons of drugs…that time in Atlanta when Ozzy drank himself into oblivion, passed out in the wrong hotel room for 24 hours, and missed a show as a result.   In 1976, ZZ Top tried to take the entire Texas experience on the road, which involved transporting real live animals to every gig…a buffalo escaped and managed to wreck nine rented limos that were parked at the gig.   Around the same time, there was the disastrous Sex Pistols tour of America…there were also stories about The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Van Halen, and all the usual suspects. But the conversation turned to the subject of the most depraved and dangerous tour of all time…who was responsible for that?... Motley Crue?...Marilyn Manson?...Oasis?   The debate when on for some time—until someone mentioned a road trip in 1993 that nearly killed every member of the group.   We're not talking about any sort of violence…it was a tour featuring so much alcohol, so many drugs, and so much stupid behaviour that members suffered heart attacks, seizures, serious mental illness, and overdoses so serious that one member was clinically dead for two minutes.  That was a summary of something called “The Devotional Tour”…at the centre of it was Depeche Mode…it has gone down in rock history as “the most debauched rock tour ever”.   This is episode 37 of “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry,” an inside look at the tour that nearly took down Depeche Mode forever…and it was all their fault.

Topics this segment how Tom's thirty-five years in the music business has helped him develop many of the observations about men that appear in Men Explained...

What makes the drumming community so special? In this episode, Eddy and I sit down with our good friend Kim Lee from Music Workshop in Bath, England, to talk about building communities—and why drummers seem to do it better than anyone else.We share stories about our first music communities, from my early days printing Simon Says merch on thrift store shirts to Eddy's touring experiences and Kim's unexpected journey through rave culture. We get into why shared struggles bond us more than shared wins, and how the best communities aren't built on purpose—they happen when you genuinely care about making people feel less alone.If you've ever felt like an outcast but found your people through drumming, this conversation is for you.

Episode 256 – In A Perfect Sky | The Popko Project Podcast

To read the complete transcript and watch the podcast video, visit the ⁠⁠episode blog⁠⁠.Daniel Blomberg is a Swedish music producer, arranger, and composer based in the United States. He is known for helping songwriters transform raw ideas into polished, world-class productions that have reached millions of listeners across YouTube and streaming platforms. From growing up in a small village in Sweden to building a thriving music production business in the U.S., Daniel's career is shaped by a deep focus on mindset, collaboration, and understanding the music business. His latest release, Sacred Christmas II, reflects this same commitment to excellence and is now available through Uplift Music.What You'll LearnIn this episode of The Successful Musicians Podcast, Daniel shares how his upbringing in Sweden and his years outside of music helped shape his approach to producing and entrepreneurship. He explains why mindset and business skills matter just as much as musical talent, how working with hobbyist songwriters became a powerful niche, and why building the right team accelerates success. You'll also hear Daniel's insights on overcoming self-doubt, investing in yourself, and learning to serve your audience at a higher level as a musician.Things We DiscussedDaniel talks about his journey from studying music in Sweden to stepping away from music for several years before returning with a renewed perspective. He reflects on the importance of understanding the music business, surrounding yourself with people who complement your strengths, and letting go of the belief that you must do everything yourself. The conversation also explores marketing, hiring help, learning through books and podcasts, and why many musicians stall not because of lack of talent, but because of fear, comfort, and mindset barriers.Connect with Daniel BlombergWebsite FacebookInstagramLinkedInConnect with Jason TonioliWebsite FacebookYouTube InstagramSpotifyPandoraAmazon MusicApple Music

In this episode of Audio Talks, host Oisin Lunny welcomes Ted Cohen—the “Godfather of Digital Music”—for a masterclass in how technology, culture, and creativity have shaped the modern music industry. From backstage with the Rolling Stones before their Ed Sullivan debut to pioneering digital deals at EMI, Ted's career is a living history of music's transformation. Together, Oisin and Ted trace the arc from analog to digital, exploring how serendipity, artist development, and a relentless curiosity led Ted to work with legends like Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Prince, and The Who. Ted shares candid stories from the road, the boardroom, and the cutting edge of innovation—whether sneaking Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker into the Grammys, navigating the Napster wars, or launching Amazon Music before streaming was mainstream. The conversation dives into the evolution from distribution to the attention economy, the rise of AI and creative tools, and the shifting boundaries between consumption and experience. Ted reflects on the lessons learned (and missed) by the industry, the importance of building your “village,” and why kindness is the ultimate long game.

We discuss the importance of teaching drums not as a means to showcase what students can'tt do, but rather to identify and address the barriers preventing them from achieving their drumming goals. We throw a tad bit of shade at the rare instance when teachers try to establish dominance by showcasing their skills, and instead advocate for a more empowering approach that focuses on student needs and growth. Basically, don't be a jerk. LOL. We hope you enjoy this episode!Mike & EddySupport the show

As NAMM approaches its 125th year, the conversation around The NAMM Show 2026 centers less on products alone and more on the people, relationships, and creative energy that sustain the music industry. In this episode, John Mlynczak, President and CEO of NAMM, joins Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli to frame the upcoming show as a moment shaped by resilience, adaptation, and shared purpose.Mlynczak positions NAMM's history as a long record of responding to disruption. Musical genres shift. Technologies rise and fall. Companies appear and disappear. Music itself remains. That continuity shapes how NAMM views its role today, particularly amid global trade pressures and ongoing debates around AI in music creation. These pressures are not framed as endpoints, but as forces the industry has encountered many times before, each eventually reshaped into opportunity.A major theme is the renewed emphasis on human connection. While innovation remains central, differentiation increasingly comes through artists, creators, and authentic storytelling. Product launches are no longer just technical showcases. They are expressions of identity, collaboration, and trust between musicians and the tools they choose. According to Mlynczak, this shift is driving a larger presence of artists and creators at The NAMM Show 2026, reinforcing the idea that brands are ultimately represented by people, not specifications.Education also plays a defining role. With more than 200 sessions planned, alongside new half-day and full-day summits, The NAMM Show 2026 expands its commitment to learning across experience levels and professional communities. Retailers, educators, engineers, marketers, and performers each have distinct paths through the show, designed intentionally rather than left to chance. Data-driven planning allows NAMM to understand how attendees engage, enabling more tailored experiences now and in the years ahead.Underlying it all is energy. Not hype, but momentum built through in-person connection. The NAMM Show is described as a space where competitors share ideas, musicians find inspiration, and creativity compounds simply by being present. For those who attend, The NAMM Show 2026 serves as a springboard into the year ahead, shaped by music's enduring ability to connect, adapt, and move people forward.The NAMM Show 2026 is taking place from January 20-24, 2026 | Anaheim Convention Center • Southern California — Coverage provided by ITSPmagazine — Follow our coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/cybersecurity-technology-society-events/the-namm-show-2026GUEST:Guest: John Mlynczak, President and CEO of NAMM | View Website | Visit NAMMHOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comNAMM Organization: https://www.namm.org/The NAMM Show 2026: https://www.namm.org/thenammshow/attendCatch more stories from NAMM Show 2026 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/cybersecurity-technology-society-events/the-namm-show-2026Music Evolves: Sonic Frontiers Newsletter | https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7290890771828719616/More from Marco Ciappelli on Redefining Society and Technology Podcast: https://redefiningsocietyandtechnologypodcast.com/Want to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

From musician to movement healer, Amanda Bauman shows us what it looks like to build a career led not by strategy, but by soul, intuition, and a deep commitment to helping people reconnect with themselves.Amanda is a multi-passionate entrepreneur whose work beautifully weaves together music, fitness, and wellness. As the co-owner and founder of Core Connection, she brings more than 15 years of experience in personal training, Pilates, and dance-based fitness, along with her creative world as a DJ and singer/songwriter. She's also the creator of Groove Alchemy, a signature class that blends meditation, somatic movement, and live DJ performance into an experience that feels both grounding and electric.In our conversation, Amanda opens up about the pivotal turning points that shaped her path, from moving to LA after college to chase acting and music, and navigating an autoimmune diagnosis that changed how she related to her body and her work. What started as spontaneous opportunities evolved into a meaningful shift toward fitness when her health required a new kind of presence. Years later, that winding, intuitive journey positioned her to step into entrepreneurship, purchasing the studio that would become Core Connection alongside her co-founder, Akiko Morrison.Amanda offers profound insight into partnership, purpose, and resilience. She talks about how her diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis informed her compassionate teaching style, why choosing the right co-founder is critical, and how Groove Alchemy emerged as a healing blend of her passions. She also shares her current creative projects, like DJing at LA venues, remixing her original music with AI tools like Kuno, and envisioning a full live set built entirely from her own tracks.This episode is a reminder that leadership doesn't always begin with a business plan. Sometimes it begins with listening inward, trusting the next step, and allowing creativity to guide the way.

Andy and Nick sit down with STS9's Hunter Brown and Alana Rocklin for a very jam band episode of the World Saving Podcast. They dive into The Human Dream, STS9's new concept-leaning record, why it captures what Sound Tribe really sounds like in 2025, and how their Santa Cruz environment and the devastating Big Basin fire shaped the music. They get honest about the modern jam band scene, from fan tribalism to former member Murph playing the old songs again, and why Hunter refuses to treat music like sports rivalries. There is also a frank talk about the brutal economics of touring, Red Rocks, and why even successful bands are rethinking how they hit the road as costs skyrocket. Alana opens up about raising a kid while living the musician life, losing her home in the fire, and turning that trauma into bass lines and new songs. Hunter gets into mindset, hypnotherapy, "being a great number two," and what a more human music world could look like. If you love STS9, jam bands, live music culture, or just unfiltered conversations about art, music, and survival, this one is for you. Like, subscribe, and share to keep the pod rolling.
