As an independent artist, you are the CEO of your business. As CEO, you are responsible for building your team, brand and image. But when should you invest in growing your business? Our expert panelists will dive into what areas should be of great focus, signs it is time to take your career to the next level, and where to save your money.


This session is part of our Music and Money: Financial Literacy Summit, powered by Lyric Financial
Following a successful debut in 2018, our Financial Literacy Summit is the perfect companion program for attendees asking, “I know how to MAKE money in the music business, but what do I do once I’ve EARNED it?” The program will unite artists, managers, agents, CPAs, lawyers and more for well-rounded discussions on how to secure your financial future. This year’s Summit will specifically cover how to build financial footing when cash flow is in flux, how to be the “CEO” of your business as an indie songwriter, and the ins-and-outs of alternative financing.
