Producer Community Ignorance + Getting Put On By Another Artist (MEC Podcast 197)

Is the music producer community embracing ignorance over music business knowledge? Is the music business really hard to learn? We explain why we believe the music business is easy– certainly easier than many other professions. We also debate whether or not there are actual gatekeepers in the music business. The episode begins with a conversation of getting “put on” by other artists and whether signing to an artist or producer is a bad idea.
