Today’s episode is a special bonus all about marketing for musicians. My guests are Feature.FM CEO and Co-Founder Lior Aharoni and Chief Commercial Officer Daniel Sander. Lior founded Feature.FM in 2013, combining his past technology experience with his passion for helping musicians and creators focus on their art while still building a thriving independent business. Daniel has been with Feature.FM since 2014 and has spent countless hours working with hundreds of artists and marketers to understand their needs and then implement those features into the platform.
