Join Kody & Jake Giller for an absolute curveball episode as Ominous The Monster, Tony Dent, & Ruuch pull back the curtain on their rise as artists. From the early days of booking shows with personal connection, to the unexpected jolt of TikTok virality, they share a candid look at the highs and lows of crafting a career in music.
The digital age has thrown open the doors to the music industry, but what does it take to truly stand out? We tackle this head-on, examining the influence of social media and technology on music's accessibility. Listen in as we navigate the muddy water between luck and consistency, and how artists like Ominous use adaptability to convert unexpected online moments into genuine artistic opportunities. Plus, don't miss Tony's emotional journey with his latest project, a tribute to his late mother that's touched hearts and expanded his listenership far beyond his roots.
This episode isn't just about melody and memories; it's a masterclass in the business hustle behind the artistry. We discuss the vital importance of financial savvy in this industry, from understanding streaming revenue to the need for optimizing social presence. We also touch on the social fabric of Minneapolis post-2020, the power of pre-show rituals, and even dive into the debate over artist independence in the modern music scene. Warm up your earbuds; this is a conversation that's as real as it gets, full of insights and inspiration for anyone looking to make their own waves in the world of music.
