I have founded this blog to compile and share all of the information that will help independent artists thrive in the new music industry.
History Lesson
As physical sales of music have declined for over 10 years the industry has been shaken to the core. In the wake of declining profits and digital piracy, labels have begun to release their tight grip over control of the music industry. In a new fragmented and heavily digitally influenced industry the stage is set for aspiring artists to thrive.
My Background
As a recent graduate of the University of Oregon’s Lundquist College of Business my degree has given me the background and tools to analyze the music industry. Throughout my education I have applied all of my projects and skills to my small business. As my knowledge grew we were able to become a successful company and now I wish to share this knowledge with you. I will be combining my knowledge with a small amount of guest bloggers and a large amount of external sources to bring you the information to succeed in the new music industry. I wish all success and hope that you find this useful and interesting. All are also welcome to comment and leave feedback as well as network with me, I can be reached at newindustrytips@gmail.com.
Sincerly,
