This week, Ari is joined by Cody Fry, an orchestral arranger of contemporary music, to discuss going indie after his major label deal.

This week, Ari talks with John Summit, world-renowned DJ/producer, about how he worked his way from bedroom beats to global success.

Few people in the live music industry give me as much anxiety as the house sound engineers.

UPSAHL has ignited a groundswell of fan adoration and tastemaker praise by way of numerous indie alternative gems. “Can You Hear Me Now” achieved a palpable viral buzz followed by the widely praised single “Drugs,” which has been used in nearly two million TikTok videos, reaching #6 on the Viral Chart and the #1 Sound on the Trends Chart.

Not only are house concerts fun to play, they can be quite lucrative. Side Door looks to bridge the gap between artist and host.

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari is joined by the completely independent and incomparable neo-soul artist and producer, Madison McFerrin (recorded live at the Labelcoin x Roland House at SXSW last week).

I just got back from SXSW and true to SX form, I’m in need of some serious recovery.  This was my 8th year in a row at the festival (save for the two years during the pandemic that it didn’t happen) and, as always, it was a blast. An exhausting blast. But a blast no less. And it flew by too fast.
