In this episode of The Indie Unplugged, B. Vaughan and Tye Huntley have a real conversation about what it actually takes to build a sustainable music career. From budgeting singles and features to understanding return on investment, they explain why success isn't always measured by immediate profits. Sometimes the real payoff comes through exposure, relationships, sync opportunities, and long-term momentum that can open doors later.
They also share lessons from Music Biz Week, discussing why networking remains one of the most underrated tools in the music industry. From meeting executives and publishers to building genuine relationships and navigating the growing influence of AI, B. Vaughan and Tye Huntley break down why artists must think like entrepreneurs and stop relying on talent alone. In today's music business, strategy matters just as much as creativity.
