Customer Reviews
Valuable real life stories for the artist and business man alike
I find the episodes to be attention grabbing and interesting. Lots of valuable information and stories even with the different music business landscape we have today. Thanks for the show Blasko!
Outstanding Podcast About The Music Biz
This outstanding podcast covers all the aspects about the music business that no book, magazine, or website will discuss. The business side in many cases determines the ultimate success or failure of a rock band even if the musical quality is high. The length of each episode is ideally at 30 minutes - not too long not too short. A must listen podcast for all music fans!
Great and Inspiring Listen!
Thanks for this!
