Trent Willmon: Production, Vocals & The Outside Songs Keeping The Songwriting Community Alive (THANK YOU CODY JOHNSON!) 1:09:14

for 5 dager siden1:09:14

1:09:14

This week on Songwriter Soup, the trio is joined by Nashville producer and songwriter, Trent Willmon. This episode covers a wealth of information about production, vocals, and why Trent is open (and even excited!) to record outside songs with his frequent collaborator, Cody Johnson. For those of you who don’t know, an outside song is a song that an artist cuts without being on the copyright. There are a thousand reasons why that is going out of style and a thousand reasons why it shouldn’t. The discussion also meanders around studio etiquette, covering the subtle art of working with artists in the vocal booth and how incredible Nashville’s studio cats are. Enjoy!

But... How TF Does Music Actually Make Money? Erica Rosa Explains It All - Part 1 1:14:05

for 19 dager siden1:14:05

1:14:05

The Songwriter Soup crew sits down with FBMM’s own, Erica Rosa, lovingly and accurately known as the “royalty guru", to explore how money flows through the music industry. While originally set to focus on publishing royalties (this is a songwriter podcast after all), things naturally veered right to the actual beginning. How does music make money from the tippy top down? Erica offers a clear breakdown, from streaming and physical sales to touring and bundling strategies. Y’all should get a clear picture of the financial pressures on both artists and labels, and perhaps an explanation of the ongoing tension between fair compensation and business sustainability in the music industry The episode also navigates the intricacies of artist-label relationships, producer deals, and the often-misunderstood world of points, net receipts, and profit splits. Songwriters, this one is a must listen. If we are ever going to fix it, we have to understand it. Start here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Tracy takes the wheel this week as he explains the system through which he organizes, manages and grows other people’s wealth.

This episode also covers the sometimes inaccurate, and often damaging, use of the word “retirement”, particularly in creative jobs like songwriting.

DEATH HAPPENS! Let’s Talk About Wills & Estate Planning 1:13:47

1:13:47

The Soup Trio has a special guest on today - Dr. Death himself, and one of Nashville’s most esteemed estate planning gurus, Jeff Mobley. Why so morbid, you ask? Well, people with intellectual property (songwriters and art makers) should have a particular interest in making sure all of your creations, and the income they generate or could generate one day, ends up in the right hands. Nobody wants to talk about this stuff. To Jeff's point though, the moment you have a kid, you absolutely should be thinking about this stuff, no matter what you do for a living. We have a feeling you’ll be glad you listened to this one, even if you think you’re too young to talk about it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
