Andrew Southworth, Matt Bacon, Jesse Cannon, and Dustin Boyer delve into the complex dynamics of “personality content” in the evolving world of music marketing. They engage in a candid roundtable discussion on how artists balance showcasing their music with sharing personal, often unrelated content online, and explore the risks and rewards of merging personality and artistry on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The episode also features a deep-dive interview with James Rhodes, President and CEO of independent label FiXT Music, who discusses their mission to empower artists through fair 50/50 deals, their successes in sync licensing, and building sustainable, long-term careers for niche acts in rock and electronic genres. The conversation touches on trends in artist-label relationships, predatory deals, the value of streaming services like Spotify, and the challenges of the live music economy, particularly in major cities like New York.
