The Music Business Show

With Gron

The Music Business Show is a fresh and highly informative monthly radio show that will be aimed at empowering young aspiring musicians with the knowledge and information that they need to develop successful careers in the music industry without being exploited. The show will cover themes such as the role of performing rights organizations, contracts, music monetization in the digital era, the effect of COVID 19 in the music industry, as well as cover some of the most interesting movements happening in the African music industry e.g Amapiano. What's different about this show is that it is the show for the underdog, aimed at empowering the underprivileged with key music industry information that even the biggest stars are reluctant to share. For so many years, music industry information has been kept in secrete so that artists can be slaves to the industry. This show's mission is to end that curse by providing the African artist with the information they need to be in charge of their own careers and own their legacy.
