NEWSThe "Stairway To Heaven" plagiarism lawsuit is going to the Supreme CourtRickenbacker dumps Guitar Center and Musician's FriendGUESTAmplifyX founder Adam CowherdAdam Cowherd is the founder of AmplifyX, a company that bridges the financial gap between musicians and fans by letting supporters invest in artists like startups.When his work with Ernst & Young in the financial sector landed Adam in Los Angeles, it wasnât long before he started seeing gaps in the music industry landscape. Chief among them was the need for a new approach to royalties, one that could keep up with the rapid pace of innovation in the music business as a whole â and let an increasingly conscious public connect with the artists they love through direct investments.The AmplifyX model allows upcoming and established artists to retain control of their own intellectual property and career decisions while collecting up to 90% of royalties â as opposed to the current industry standard cuts, often totaling less than 20%.During the interview we talked about how the company takes advantage of new investment rules, the financial literacy of Gen-Z, how music is similar to real estate, and much more.On the intro Iâll take a look at the Stairway To Heaven plagiarism suit going to the Supreme Court, and Rickenbacker no longer accepting orders from Guitar Center. var embedVars = { epGuid: 'https://bobbyoinnercircle.com/?p=2532', rssUrl: 'https://bobbyoinnercircle.com/feed/podcast/', backgroundColor: 'white', height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true };

Imagine that you werenât allowed to have students over to your house for lessons. Image that it was illegal to go to the home of the hairstylist down the street to get your hair cut.There actually is a pace where thatâs really happening and believe it or not that place is Nashville. Yes, the Music City isnât being being to kind to music made in home studios these days thanks to a 10 year old ordinance that forbids anyone from operating a business from their homes.Leading the charge to change this law is Lij Shaw, who not only operates a home studio where he makes his living from, but is also the host of the popular Recording Studio Rockstars podcast. Along the way Lij has recorded Grammy Award-winning performers such as John Oates, Jack White, Wilco, Adele, and the Zac Brown Band, and the Grammy-winner for Best Roots album in 2015 was mixed in his Toy Box studio.Lij told me the story of what heâs being going through for the past 5 years battling with the city. var embedVars = { epId: 45079962, backgroundColor: 'white', height: '600px', showSpeakers: true };
