Independent artists have long had ways to make and distribute music themselves, but financing projects has always been tough. That’s all changing, as artist advances are increasingly democratized, even for artists without a label deal. Peter Harvey and Lars Murray of RoyFi lay out exactly how this works and what it means for artists. We explore their path into the music industry and Roy-Fi's pioneering efforts to provide equitable, affordable access to capital for artists. 

 

Along with artists, we'll examine how RoyFi is actively supporting independent labels, distributors, and other partners, and the noteworthy collaborations that are ensuring a more prosperous future for the music industry.

 

We'll also discuss emerging trends and the importance of adapting to seize new opportunities, hear about the impacts of streaming fraud on the cost of capital and how companies are battling it, and shine a spotlight on thought leaders and companies that are making waves in the music innovation space. Learn more about the exciting developments shaping the music industry in this week’s episode.
