Episode 458 – Legal Music Piracy, Google AI Music Creation, And Music Business Author Emily White

My guest this week is Emily White, who’s a partner in the talent management company Collective Entertainment and the Founder of #iVoted Festival. She’s also the author of the Amazon #1 best-selling How to Build a Sustainable Music Career and Collect All Revenue Streams and hosts the book’s accompanying podcast of the same name, which is the #1 Music Business podcast globally. Having early experiences at WBCN in Boston, MTV, and concert promoter Don Law, Emily became a core member of the Dresden Doll’s media team before getting into management.  During the interview we spoke about being a tour manager, making yourself indispensable to your clients, how talent management has changed, getting caught up in the latest trends, and much more. I spoke with Emily via Zoom from her office. On the intro I’ll take a look at the country that has made music piracy legal, and the new Google music-creation AI called MusicLM.
