In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Jon Gilman, artist development strategist and founder of The Racket House. Jon has 15 years in the music industry across management, A&R, marketing, and event production, and he's still an active DJ and producer himself.
We talked about:
→ Why most musicians skip branding and why that's a career-limiting mistake
→ The difference between visual identity and internal brand (and why you need both)
→ How to find your "North Star" and use it to make every creative and marketing decision
→ Why your personality is your most powerful tool in a world full of AI music
→ How to find content ideas without burning out by scrolling TikTok with intention
→ How to figure out your target audience without a marketing degree
