"Each year, music executives jump at the opportunity to share their predictions of where the industry is headed. These predictors write about specific trends and hit on some developing lanes, as well as take some big swings at things that don't end up panning out at the level predicted (cough cough non-fungible tokens)." #MusicIndustry #MusicBusiness #MusicMarketing #IndieArtists #AdaptiveMusic

“As a manager, I’m one tenth accountant, one tenth psychologist, one tenth assistant… I’m all these different things to clients and my goal is, get to a place where my clients only have to worry about their creative." #MusicManager #TeamBuilding #MusicBusiness #IndieArtist #AdaptiveMusic

"There are two types of innovation: sustaining innovation and disruptive innovation. Sustaining innovation is what companies do to enhance existing business models, while disruptive innovation is typically driven by new entrants – insurgents looking to make markets by turning established ones upside down." #MusicRights #MusicDistribution #MusicBusiness #AdaptiveMusic

"The MLC sued Spotify after the streaming service reclassified its premium subscription as a ‘bundle’ – because it now included audiobooks alongside music. Bundled services pay lower mechanical royalties to publishers and songwriters, via the MLC." #MusicRights #MusicBusiness #TheMLC #Spotify #AdaptiveMusic

"Hot on the heels of her first set of Grammy nominations, Chappell Roan has abruptly split with her management team. Her former management team at State Of The Art has been headed by Nick Bobetsky, who met Roan in 2018. In 2025, the pop sensation is up for Album of the Year (The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess), Record of the Year, Song of the Year (both for “Good Luck, Babe!”), and Best New Artist — but her former management team didn’t mention her in their recent Instagram post congratulating their talent for their nods. That post has seemingly been removed, but the rumors were already circulating." #AdaptiveMusic #MusicNews #MusicManagement #Grammys

"Is it possible for you to earn a living as a musician today if you aren’t a household name? The short answer is yes, absolutely. But that doesn’t mean it’s a piece of cake. You have to wear at least two hats well: artist and entrepreneur. And in a field that evolves as rapidly as the music industry (which stands at the intersection of technology, culture, marketing, and more), you’ve got to stay on your toes." #MusicBusiness #IndieArtists #MusicCareer #AdaptiveMusic
