15: When Does A Band Become A Business?!

Welcome to Justin Hawkins Rides Again…the podcast where each week I’ll be discussing the pitfalls of the music industry. This week it’s time to get down to business. My producer Jenny May Finn is intrigued about how a band actually becomes a business, and how does this affect you as an artist? What goes into running a band in order for it to succeed?  It’s quite business-oriented, however as always we go on some philosophical tangental meanderings related to this. Can you make music your living also without it chipping away at your sense of authenticity? What affect does the business side of things have on how you show up as an artist? We try and answer these. You can watch this episode over on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/-p36KF1XyxM You can follow us both over on Instagram if you like @justinhawkinsta and @jennymayfinn Thank you for listening! See you next Monday!
