This is Backstage Money: Real-World Finance for Musicians.

I’m Jason K. Powers, and each week I sit down with musicians and industry insiders to pull back the curtain on the money side of chasing the dream. From touring on gas money to record labels taking 80% cuts, to streaming paying fractions of a penny, we’re digging into the raw stories and real strategies it takes to survive in this industry.

Our first full episodes drop this November, so hit follow or subscribe now. Let’s keep the music and the money alive.

Launching November 2025!
