Cultivating a Lifelong Career in the Music Industry ft. Seth Kallen (X Ambassadors, Jukebox The Ghost, Will Linley)
Everyone, please welcome this week’s guest to the bus - Seth Kallen! Seth manages X Ambassadors, Jukebox The Ghost, Will Linley, and Corook to name a few. I found it impressive he has been managing Jukebox The Ghost for 17 years (almost half his life)! His stories of being a part of the rise of X Ambassadors were also a pleasure to listen to. So get comfy, grab your drink of choice, and get ready for this week’s episode of Don’t Shit on the Bus!
In this episode of the Don’t Shit On The Bus podcast we will learn:
• How Seth went from wanting to be a musician to being a manager of an internationally recognized band
• Why Seth believes live music is so crucial for a particular artist
• How ‘Jungle’ and ‘Renegades’ put X Ambassadors on the map
• What happens to a band, on the back end, after a song becomes very successful
