    Henry has been working in the music industry for a decade now. He studied copyright law, he's worked jobs in a publishing company, a music library, a record label and is currently working at Believe as a Digital Retail Manager. Interestingly, Henry wrote an article recently, which is the focal point of this episode. If you're wondering - how does one make money off live-streaming as a performer? This episode breaks it down for you in the best way possible. Word to the wise, the age of live-streaming is yet nascent. Treat it as just another tool in your arsenal and not a primary source of income.

    Oaf Records is an independent record label from Bengaluru that is spearheaded by Siddharth Nair. Here is a label that believes in the 'slow & steady'. Siddharth manages Cinema of Excess, Inalab, The Flying Turquoise Panthers & STEVIE along with two bands that he is himself a member of - Haiku-Like Imagination & Tangents. His approach towards management is long-term. There's a real structure to the way he runs the label but still takes much of his decisions intuitively.

    Welcome the head of talent at Big Bad Wolf - Anirudh Voleti. The boutique talent agency manages a roster of reputed artists such as Prateek Kuhad, Kamakshi Khanna, Indian Ocean & Karsh Kale. Anirudh recalls early days, working at Only Much Louder. He sincerely works behind the scenes and optimistically acknowledges that "making money" is not the factor driving his efforts as he believes that first and foremost it has always been the artist's music and their vibe & adaptability that piques his interest as an artist manager.

    Music is a business. Naturally, this paves the way for entrepreneurs to bring something of value to the masses. Founder of OKLISTEN, Vijay Basrur started this company on a whim in 2012 as a way of creating a platform for fans to buy music. Since then, his team has helped thousands of fans discover amazing new artists from the country and provided a platform for independent musicians to sell and distribute their music to the world.

    In conversation: KillKount

    Meet the Industry gets its first extreme metal band on the show. Divyanshu Gupta, guitarist of KillKount - the death metal quintet from Bhopal - lays it down tête-à-tête with Maulik about what it's like to be a band that has been alive for 7 years and has finally released it's debut album this year. Divyanshu gives a eulogy for a bandmate they recently lost to an unfortunate accident. He pays homage to iconic Indian bands that have inspired him over the years and shares his account of recording their debut full length album Konflict & Terror. Thriving as a death metal band in India is no small feat but there have been a number of homegrown bands that make the highest cut, and KillKount is one of them.

    Decoding Copyrights, Licenses & Royalties

    The award for the Most Confusing Subject in the Music Business would probably go to Royalties. It's not only complicated but also not rewarding enough until you get to the big leagues. The reason why independent musicians ought to know about copyrights, licenses and royalties at an early stage is to be ready to make the right decisions when the moment arrives. This episode helps you get initiated in this area of the business.
