We're back already! Welcome to a special episode where we're highlighting the great work beatBread is doing to pay artists cash advances for streaming royalties with the artist / rights holder maintaining full control and all rights. Matthew is a major label veteran who, along with beatBread CEO & Co-Founder Peter Sinclair, realized that many artists weren't using labels' services. They needed the cash advance to hire the services of their choice. beatBread solves this problem by providing cash advances based on your streaming royalties so you can fund your career & life while owning your rights and making the choices that are right for your specific career & journey. Here we go!

Also! This really is a wrap for Season Two. Thank you SO much! +It's already time for Season 3! We'll be doing live tapings in partnership w/ New York Music Month and the NYC Mayor's office in June 2023, that will also be live streamed - both options are FREE! Grab your FREE in-person tickets HERE & livestream from our YouTube page HERE: https://youtube.com/@sustainablemusicpodcast.

+Huge thanks to beatBread for their support of this episode and all they are doing for artists! beatBread is a pioneering music and finance company that empowers artists to take control of their careers without giving away ownership of their music or their decision-making power. Founded in 2020, beatBread brings together a team with deep experience in music, finance, artificial intelligence and machine learning to create new opportunities for artists. beatBread provides independent and unsigned artists with financial advances that are repaid through a limited share of revenues from streaming and airplay, over a period of the artist’s choosing. beatBread's funding platform leverages its proprietary ⁠⁠chordCashAI⁠⁠ technology, and millions of dollars from beatBread’s ⁠⁠Investor Network⁠⁠ as well as institutional funds to provide advances that let artists and labels control their marketing and distribution partners while maintaining ownership of their underlying IP.

Also! We're planning live podcast tapings around the world in coming months & years. If you'd like to be in the loop on said live events, & all updates on the book this podcast is based on, ⁠⁠⁠⁠sign up for our email list HERE.⁠⁠⁠⁠
