American Football is a brutal and ugly sport, but the beautiful thing about it is every play, if executed correctly, is designed to score a touchdown. Everyone just has to do their job.
Each city has a sound, but right now, that sound is hidden underground. No one can actually see:
who defines it
who influences it
who is using whose sounds
what sounds are spreading
who are the reference points
Talent is everywhere.
Systems that magnify talent are not.
They are becoming more and more valuable.

Streaming is passive.
The internet is interactive.
And interactive environments need programmable assets.
I’ve have been thinking about turning my insights on business into a framework that any artists can use to implement a business strategy they can rely on.
There are plenty of books on the music industry that are not relevant to indie artists today and there is a lot of founder/entrepreneurial content that doesn’t speak to creatives.
