The Music Lens Podcast
Two friends with mics, talking all things life in the music scene through the lens of independent artists.
The Music Lens Podcast is a vital weekly resource and commentary show for current and aspiring independent artists. Join hosts Alex and Katie—both successful indie musicians themselves—as they offer candid, boots-on-the-ground insights into the culture, history, and most importantly, the business that shapes the modern music landscape.
Tune in to learn how to navigate the industry:
- Music Business 101: Decoding topics like record label contracts, publishing rights, and licensing deals.
- Creator Economy: Examining the impact of AI artists, streaming royalties, and parasocial fan culture.
- Industry Commentary: Breaking down the latest Grammy buzz, news roundups, and music history deep dives.
If you're an indie artist looking for honest talk and practical tools to build your career, this is the community and conversation you need.
