In this episode of The Indie Unplugged, host B. Vaughan sits down with multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated songwriter and CEO of The Mezzo Agency, Tami LaTrell. From her early days as a performer to penning hits for icons like Whitney Houston and Keyshia Cole, Tami shares the pivotal moments that shifted her path from center stage to behind the scenes. She recounts the life-changing call that confirmed Whitney would record one of her songs, and how that moment sparked her deeper purpose in the industry.

Tami also discusses her evolution into a leading voice for music rights, founding The Mezzo Agency to help creators recover unclaimed royalties and protect their intellectual property. With over $1 million in royalties redistributed to date, her boutique firm stands as a powerful advocate for independent artists. This episode is both a masterclass in music business strategy and an inspiring reminder of how purpose, persistence, and legal knowledge can turn passion into long-lasting impact.
