Every manager, label, band, and music lover knows that the music frontier has changed drastically over the past 10 years with the advent of downloading, new methods of distribution and consumption, and current pop culture trends. How has this new ecosystem affected the way that artist careers are approached from the perspective of independent managers and labels. Has current market shifts changed the way that we view the creative process and our ability to support sustainable careers in music.
