MÚSICA

Making music has never been easier, but building a music career today is altogether different. Finding the right audience for your music takes an entrepreneurial mindset, a lot of hard work, and a willingness to experiment. The DIY Musician Podcast features interviews with artists of all styles and backgrounds who’ve found a unique but authentic pathway to success, as well as in-depth discussions with music publicists, promoters, lawyers, publishers, talent buyers, and more. This podcast is geared towards independent musicians who want to build a sustainable music career without giving up (too much) financial or creative control. The hosts work with hundreds of thousands of artists at CD Baby, and are actively releasing and promoting their own music too; they're part of the same community they’re helping to educate and encourage with each new episode.

The new host Cristina does a nice job, keeping the podcast going, providing helpful info and insights and somehow being very comforting in the process. Much appreciated!

Episode on surviving the road gave such lame, everyday advice I had to make sure I was listening to a podcast called DIY Musician and not the people babbling at a dry party podcast. Seriously, drink water???? Get sleep??? Don’t be drunk all the time??? Go to Quik-Trip? Oh, if only I could get such great advice from anyone in the world. Oh yeah, I can. Cmon guys this is a show that is supposed to be specialized to the music industry. Show what you know that is special and avoid rambling on about freaking quick-trip and dumb, dumb advice that everybody gives every day. Drink water. Get some sleep. Ok chief, I’ll do that every day just for you. Now I am road musician!
Tough Shoes To Fill

Kevin and Chris left tough shoes to fill. The current format is leaving me wanting for something broader. Artist interviews tend to be too narrow in focus. Host opinions are fine in small doses, but what I REALLY need are tips on how to promote on social media, optimize my presence on streaming platforms, advertise, build a fan base, mailing lists… mostly digital advice, which is something all artists need, whether they perform live or not.
DIY Musician is part of my university music curriculum

This is a must-listen show for music students who aspire to create a career in music. I’m a university music theory professor (CSUCI) and we don’t currently offer a music business class, so I supplement our curriculum with episodes from DIY Musician. I think the latest episode on mechanical royalties (writing this review Feb 2022) is absolute gold ✨and will help my students imagine and plan for their futures, so I am designing an assignment around it. The music industry is constantly changing. The only way I can keep up is this podcast! Kevin and Chris break down really complex concepts in a fun way and I really enjoy learning and “hanging out” with them!
