E125: Lewis Mokler – Why Independent Musicians Are Struggling


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of Life and Lessons, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with Lewis Mokler.


You might know Lewis by his stage name, HUNTAR. For more than a decade, Lewis has been growing a musical career with some impressive highlights.


He’s played hundreds of shows, gained tens of millions of streams on Spotify, and even landed one of his songs on FIFA.


But now, as an independent artist, Lewis is speaking out about some of the challenges solo musicians are facing when trying to connect with their fans.


In the next hour, you’re going to learn:


1. What really happens behind the scenes when a new artist signs to a label 


2. How going it alone as an independent artist is fraught with challenges that make it near impossible to connect with fans organically 


3. Why TikTok could spell the end of deep connections between songwriters and their fans 


4. What celebrity DM slides you get when you start to release popular music


And so much more.
