Making It In The Music Industry (w/ Ben Kweller)

<p dir="ltr">In today’s episode, I talk to Grammy-nominated musician, Ben Kweller.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Ben started in the music industry when he was 12 years old! He was part of the popular band Radish—which was signed to major record label, Mercury Records. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">But when Ben was 19, Radish disbanded. So Ben moved to New York and went solo.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">30 years later, he’s still releasing new music, runs a production studio, and mentors musicians to help them navigate the behind-the-scenes side of the music industry.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Check out Ben Kweller’s music wherever you listen, and get more from him on his website <a href= "https://benkweller.com/">BenKweller.com</a>.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">If you’ve ever wanted to learn about what it’s like to be a young rockstar, you’ll love this episode.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:<br /> <br /></p> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">1. Why Ben never had a backup plan out of the music industry</p> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">2. How “jam-nesia” is the KEY to having a long-term music career </p> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">3. And what ACTUALLY makes you money as a musician (spoiler alert: it’s not your songs)</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.</p> <p>If you’re interested in helping support Ben and his family through this difficult time, check out this GoFundMe page: <a href= "https://www.gofundme.com/f/Doriankweller">https://www.gofundme.com/f/Doriankweller</a></p>
