Order THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business here: https://book.aristake.com


Citizen Cope, a.k.a Clarence Greenwood, is an American singer-songwriter, producer, and performer. His music is commonly described as a mix of blues, soul, folk, and rock. Cope's compositions have been recorded by artists such as Carlos Santana, Dido, Pharoahe Monch, and Richie Havens. In his solo career, "Let the Drummer Kick" from his 2002 album, Citizen Cope, went RIAA-Certified Gold. In 2004, he produced and released The Clarence Greenwood Recordings, followed by Every Waking Moment in 2006.


In 2010, Cope founded his own record label, Rainwater Recordings, allowing him to exert full creative control. Free from the marketing entreaties of the major record labels, he released The Rainwater LP later that year. One Lovely Day followed in 2012. After taking a hiatus from his own record releases, Cope came back stronger than ever, releasing Heroin and Helicopters in 2019 and The Pull of Niagara Falls in 2021. He is currently slated to release another album in 2023.

How to Release an Album in 2023 (Live from SXSW)

Order THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business here.


Releasing music today is vastly different from releasing music even just 5 years ago. It's no longer about release week. It's now about release year. There are extremely important steps to take before *and after* the release of each single and album to make sure you have the biggest effect. Because every artist is unique, every release plan requires a unique approach. However, there are some proven strategies that every artist, manager and label can employ to make sure their release has the impact it deserves. Ari will break down these concrete strategies and give you a bulletproof release plan you can use for your next release.


You will walk away with detailed strategies, specific checklists, innovative ideas and a solid handle on what exactly needs to get done for your next release.


If you'd like to get the slides to this presentation, email [email protected] and we'll send them to you to follow along!

UPSAHL on Pop Songwriting Sessions and the Economics of Touring

Order THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com


UPSAHL has ignited a groundswell of fan adoration and tastemaker praise by way of numerous indie alternative gems. ?Can You Hear Me Now? achieved a palpable viral buzz followed by the widely praised single ?Drugs,? which has been used in nearly two million TikTok videos, reaching #6 on the Viral Chart and the #1 Sound on the Trends Chart. 2020 was a standout year where UPSAHL released her second EP Young Life Crisis, which Billboard crowned as one of the Top 25 Pop albums of the year.

She has also collaborated with artists such as GAYLE, Renee Rapp, Madison Beer, Mike Shinoda, Jann Dior, Anne-Marie, Little Mix, Alan Walker and NGHTMRE.


The latest EP follows on the heels of UPSAHL?s highly successful debut headline tour, where she sold out venues across the US, and then continued on an expansive international tour, which included Australia, the UK and Europe.

What Happens After a Band Gets Signed (Then Dropped) from TikTok

Order the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business here: https://book.aristake.com


The Rare Occasions are an LA-based, New England-bred indie rock band known for their explosive garage rock anthems with catchy vocal harmonies. Brian McLaughlin (singer) and Luke Imbusch (drummer) have been making music together since their early teenage years. They formed The Rare Occasions while attending college in Boston where they met Jeremy Cohen (bassist). Since then, the band have toured nationally, won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and released a vast catalog of music online. In 2021 the band released their first album as a trio, Big Whoop, which received significant press and radio play.


Around the same time, their 2016 track ?Notion? went viral on TikTok and continues to make waves, topping Spotify?s viral chart in the US and several other countries, and later landing on Billboard?s alternative charts and top 100 singles charts in the UK, Ireland, and Canada. The Rare Occasions released their new EP, Attaboy, on November 4th, 2022. The first single off the EP ?Seasick? has already garnered the attention of radio DJs across the country including SiriusXM?s Alt Nation with the second single ?Not Afraid? being an explosive follow up. After sharing Attaboy?s hard-hitting riffs, danceable grooves, and ear-catching melodies with audiences across the nation on their Fall 2022 headline tour, the band has shifted its efforts towards new music in 2023.

Is SubmitHub Good or Bad for Indie Musicians: Interview with the Founder

THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business here: https://book.aristake.com


Jason Grishkoff started a music blog called Indie Shuffle back in 2007, when music blogs were still cool. After a 3-year stint at Google, he was lucky to take the blog full-time in 2013. From 2014 to 2015 digital advertising in the music industry changed rapidly, and a number of bloggers found themselves looking for alternative sources of income. Many gave up to focus on their day jobs, but Jason decided to double-down on his coding abilities and created a website called SubmitHub, where musicians, labels and publicists could submit their songs to blogs like Indie Shuffle. Flash forward to 2022 and nearly 30 million submissions have been submitted through the platform. Jason still runs the operation as the only developer, and the product is constantly evolving to meet the needs of the modern music promotion industry.
