I'm so psyched to have sat down with Andy Frasco for this second installment of interviews from @northlands.live -- and this one is completely unfiltered, totally fun, and not to be missed!! Andy is super happy these days and riding the momentum right now in the wake of his latest album, Growing Pains. Life is Good in Frasco's World.Andy and I discuss his commitment to authenticity — and his live shows are a paradigm of getting real. Filled with tons of antics, the music is top-notch with Andy's band, The U.N., continuing to totally bring it. They come to play and the energy is super infectious.With Growing Pains, Andy's unique lyricism is on full display and is filled with heartfelt confessions, life advice and empowering messages — much like his live shows. Andy is a unique, and inspirational artist, yet you never quite know when sh*t might go sideways, and this interview is certainly no exception — in a really great way!!

My guests today are Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, who you might know as The Chainsmokers. We explore their fascinating evolution from scrappy DJs to global superstars to serious venture capitalists with their fund Mantis. Drew and Alex share how the same high-touch, relationship-driven approach that built their music empire now defines their investment philosophy. Their framework for backing founders mirrors their artistic process: they invest in obsessive individuals who will pursue their vision regardless of external validation, much like how they've remained authentic to their sound despite industry pressures. We discuss parallels between creative iteration in music and venture investing, particularly around managing failure, maintaining intentionality in an age of abundance, and the importance of taste as a differentiating factor.

Edward Ginis, Founder and CEO of OpenPlay, attended his 15th Music Biz Conference this year. In this episode, he discusses how the Conference continues to evolve with the times, providing true substance and debate over platitudes and hype. In the same vein, Edward touches on just how crucial it is for our industry to nurture entrepreneurs and startups in a mutually beneficial relationship. He discusses how the Conference's startup programming, including OpenPlay's “Break The Silos. Build The Future.” Hackathon, allows our industry to both progress in tandem with the tech space and show investors that music companies are worth collaborating with. Finally, he covers hot-button topics such as AI and copyright registration, and how we as an industry have to step up where the government leaves gaps!
Before the internet, it was reasonably easy to just disappear. Get a fake ID, leave the country with some cash, and you were gone. These kinds of mysteries can also be found in the world of music; artists who disappear without a trace…and I'm not talking about musicians who retired and then become recluses…there are plenty of those. We haven't seen much of Steve Perry since he left Journey…he's very much alive but isn't interested in being famous anymore…Syd Barrett tripped out on too much LSD, got fired from Pink Floyd, and was rarely seen by anyone until he died of cancer in 2006…John Deacon of Queen gave up his music career after Freddie Mercury died…we haven't seen anything of him. Then there are the musicians who disappeared involuntarily…one day they were here and the next day, they were just gone…and this has happened a lot more than you may realize. This is episode 43 of “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry”…and the next of this program is “Missing and Presumed Dead”. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Before she became known as “The She-Wolf of France,” Isabella was a princess sent to unite two warring kingdoms through marriage. But her husband, King Edward II of England, didn't get the same memo. From day one, it's clear he's more interested in the cute men at court than his queen – or his crown. As Edward's reckless choices endanger the English throne and strain relations with France, Isabella will have to decide if she'll remain a loyal queen – or take matters into her own hands.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Chanté takes us back to being discovered at just 18 and signed by legendary exec Benny Medina—only to be dropped before her debut ever hit shelves. She reflects on what that early heartbreak taught her, and how it shaped the artist she would become. We dive into her run on R&B Divas, the behind-the-scenes pressures of reality TV, and her near miss at joining the LaFace Records roster under Babyface and L.A. Reid. But in a full-circle moment, Chanté shares the exciting news that she's finally collaborating with Babyface on an upcoming record. Fans will also be fascinated to hear how her voice inspired the iconic opening synthesizer keys intro to SWV's “Weak,” and what it was like teaming up with R. Kelly for the classic duet “Contagious.” It's a candid, empowering, and musical ride through the highs, the lows, and the anointed voice that keeps rising above it all.

Elisabeth Ovesen, formerly known as Karrine Steffans and author of Confessions of a Video Vixen, recently opened up about her experiences with Sean "Diddy" Combs during the early 2000s. She recounted meeting Diddy in 2001 after being "gifted" to him by a music executive following a night of partying. Ovesen described the encounter as something she entered with awareness, choosing to document her experiences within the entertainment industry. She depicted the atmosphere at Diddy's parties as extravagant and chaotic, likening them to The Great Gatsby—featuring tuxedo-clad men, topless women, and trays of drugs and champagne circulating among guests.While Ovesen clarified that she was not a victim of Diddy's actions, she described witnessing environments rife with power imbalances and instances of men exerting control over women. She empathized with those who have come forward with allegations against Diddy, acknowledging the complex and often exploitative dynamics in such settings. Ovesen's account paints a vivid picture of the entertainment world at the time, shedding light on the toxic culture that enabled abuses of power behind closed doors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegations: Former hip-hop dancer speaks out about the industry - 'They share women.

In this episode, I cautiously wade into the rapidly evolving world of AI and its growing presence in music. I've been hesitant to record this — not because the conversation isn't important, but because AI is changing so quickly, and I don't want to make predictions I'll regret. Still, it's time we talk about it. Presented by LANDR - http://otherrecordlabels.com/landr This isn't a rant or a warning — it's an open, honest reflection. I talk about the human tendency to rebel against convenience, why handmade art still matters, and how irrationality might just be our greatest strength in the age of artificial intelligence.
