    • What Actually Makes an Artist Legendary?

      What Actually Makes an Artist Legendary?
      Jan 29 2026
      In this episode of the Music Business Newsletter with Matthew Rix, I read an email from a nu-metal band asking a question most artists are afraid to say out loud:
      How do you become a legendary band not just another act that had a moment?
      They’re not looking to be a throwback.
      They’re not chasing nostalgia.
      They’re not satisfied with being “pretty good.”
      They want longevity, impact, and a legacy especially in a genre many people think already peaked.
      In this episode, we talk about:
      • What actually separates legendary bands from successful ones
      • Why talent alone never creates legacy
      • The role of identity, culture, and mythology in heavy music
      • How bands stay relevant without chasing trends
      • Why some genres never really die — they just evolve
      • And what artists misunderstand about longevity
      This isn’t about streams or virality.
      It’s about building something that lasts beyond cycles and algorithms.
      If you’re in a band that wants more than momentary success this episode is for you.

    • Audience vs Community: What Artists Get Wrong

      Audience vs Community: What Artists Get Wrong
      Jan 20 2026
      In this episode of the Music Business Newsletter with Matthew Rix, I read an email from an independent artist who’s asking a question many artists quietly struggle with:
      What does it actually mean to “build a community”?
      This artist has:
      • thousands of followers
      • consistent releases
      • people showing up occasionally
      But they’re realizing that numbers don’t always translate into real support.
      In this episode, we break down:
      • The difference between an audience and a community
      • Why engagement metrics can be misleading
      • How real fan connection is actually built
      • Where online platforms help and where they fail
      • When artists should stop chasing growth and start deepening relationships
      This isn’t about tricks or hacks.
      It’s about sustainability.
      If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still missing something real this conversation will resonate.

    • Losing Money on Every Music Release

      Losing Money on Every Music Release
      Jan 13 2026
      In this episode of the Music Business Newsletter with Matthew Rix, I read an email from an independent artist who’s doing everything “right” releasing consistently, investing in quality, tracking expenses and still losing money on every release.
      He’s spending $1,200–$1,800 per song, releasing every 6–8 weeks, and pulling in 20k streams per release. On paper, that sounds like progress. In reality, the numbers don’t add up.
      Streaming revenue barely dents the cost. Shows pay $100–$150. Expenses never stop.
      And the hardest part? Everyone keeps telling him he’s “doing well.”
      In this episode, we break down:
      • Why streaming numbers don’t equal sustainability
      • The dangerous myth of “consistent releasing”
      • When investing in quality actually works — and when it doesn’t
      • How artists confuse progress with momentum
      • The difference between building leverage and burning cash
      • When to slow down, reassess, and change strategy


      This is not a motivational episode. It’s a reality check for artists who are serious about the business side of music.
      If you have a question about the music industry and want me to answer it not just to help you, but to help other artists in the same situation head over to https://MatthewRix.com and send it in. Please include as many details as possible so the answer can be useful to others.
