TEM160: Music vs. the music business and the seismic shift coming in the industry - A conversation with Matt Oestreicher
Matt Oestreicher is a multi-instrumentalist who is one of the top performers, composers and arrangers in New York City.
What You'll Learn:
How 2018 is such an empowering time for artists Why Matt doing so many musical things so well is actually a marketing challenge for him Why how we deal with the human error that occurs in live music applies to being an entrepreneur How the people not on the very front of the stage are frequently the best people to reach out to when trying to build your network Intentional networking and why that's not just waiting to run into people The value of having the audacity to think that you might make it big The fantasies about the music business you have to cut through in order to succeed The difference between music and the music business The proper balance of short-term strategies and long-term strategies and how the proportion of the two should change according to your age and where you are in life Why he decided to release his first album of songs after he turned 40 How the barriers to creation and distribution being drastically lowered means that much more competition The seismic shift that the music business has recently experienced and why there is another one coming What it's like working with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Anita Baker and Weird Al YankovicLinks:
