    Building the NYC Indie Scene with Danny Ross

    Creating a community and creating as a community are slightly different, but Danny Ross has pioneered both. As the founder of the Anti Social Camp (and the camp!), an engineer, producer, and newly a professor at Berklee NYC, Danny isn't only proving the power of collaboration in New York's indie music community, he's making it impossible to deny it. With Hulu and Apple credits to his name and now hundreds of creatives gathering at his events annually, Danny is with Groundbreaking today to discuss how he built a community that has collected billions of streams and multiple Grammys, and the mentalities as an artist, producer, and leader that are guiding him the right direction.

    Can We Trust Record Labels? with Bucky Driedger

    Pride in being an independent artist has definitely grown recently, but alongside that has also developed a doubt and frustration with standard record label practice. Do artists today still need record labels? Are record labels really trying to trick artists? How do we even begin to look at a record deal? All of these questions are being discussed in this episode with Bucky Driedger, Label Manager at Birthday Cake Records and artist, engineer, booking agent, and more. Over an impressive career of writing, building, touring, and leading, Bucky sees the music industry from multiple perspectives - a strength and muscle he's leveraging as he steps into his latest role to help build the careers of other artists.

    How Do We Build Trust in the Music Industry? with Claire Sojka

    The best working relationships in music have one thing in common: trust. However, it's not as easy to build it as you may think. An artist needs to trust their team often with difficult, personal decisions - and the best relationships are built on a mutual trust that takes time to develop. Today, we're meeting with Nashville-based artist manager Claire Sojka to discuss how she builds trust in her working relationships, what others can do to build their own, and the evolving role of the artist manager.
