Today, our Host Vinnie Hines welcomes Patrice K Cokley of The Bassline Group. Patrice K. Cokley is a self-proclaimed t-shaped marketer & consultant that has a heart for helping creative entrepreneurs understand branding, how to strategically grow their business. She's spent decades studying the patterns and trends of entrepreneurship, marketing, and the music business to better help creatives turn their passion into a career. She does this as the Owner of The Bassline Group. Many know her for her work with Mathew Knowles (Beyoncé & Solange’s dad). However, she's most proud of receiving the 2019 Mentor of the Year Award from the students of SAE Institute Chicago, where she was a Music Business & Marketing Instructor for 3 years.

She urges artists to make an impact rather than chasing clout and that's an idea we can get behind.

Today, we welcome Maddie Elyse of Shark Attack to educate us on what's happening with the Spotify Scandals of 2021 and why songs are being removed. As the conversation unfolds, we'll learn more about Maddie, her company, and how artists can thrive using Spotify moving forward, avoiding BS playlists and marketing con artists. If you don't know by now, Spotify has begun to removed 750k indie songs for policy violations, typically relating to using bots and other ways to create fake streams! We don't want you to fall victim to this. After we dissect some of the distribution secrets of Spotify, Maddie enlightens us about Sync. She chats about the best ways to start building your sync portfolio, why you should avoid micro-sync, and how to get involved with agents, supervisors, and create some incredible recurring income.

Today, we have a very special Livestream recording of the MICPodcast as we welcome long-time Artist Collective member and friend Mel Senese (@melystica). She is an epic rock singer that has continued carving her name into the Chicago music scene with fantastic success throughout 2020. She writes incredibly catchy original tunes and has an impressive cover repertoire that has proven especially useful this year.

When the stages closed and her full band had fewer and fewer ways to perform together, she pivoted into episodic Livestreams where she themed setlists, engaged with her audience, and sang her damn heart out, funneling hundreds of new fans in every week! All along the way, her local PR continues growing with a recent performance on Windy City Live (@windycitylive) on ABC 7 Chicago in late October!

So tune in while we catch up and hear more about Mel, what's working in 2020 and what the plans are for the future!

@AC_Vinnie Here, and today I invite one of my best friends to the podcast. He's a fantastic pianist, guitarist, and vocalist currently playing in London, England as a full-time resident piano bar player. He's also built quite the roster as a part-time booking agent in the area, as well.  

We met at sea working as soloist musicians and quickly struck up a strong friendship. I was wildly impressed with his crowd work, ability to generate tips, and his money management, which fits nicely into Artist Collective's Monthly Topic: Using a Budget to Build a Full-Time Music Career.  

Join us today as we chat about our introduction to cruise ship life, the truths about the lifestyle, clever tip solicitation how we've managed to continue building throughout the pandemic, and whatever else comes across our minds!
