We had the honor of chatting with Dwayne McCray, CEO of Stampede Music Entertainment, about the company's exciting plans for 2023 and their strategies for branching out into new markets and genres. Dwayne shared the inspiring story of TeAmber, a teacher, singer, and songwriter who has recently signed with Stampede Music Entertainment and is the ultimate package. We also explored the creative process behind one of the singles from the Pandemic album, a song that began as just a hook in a man cave and evolved into a powerful anthem about unconditional support.
Navigating the music industry can be a complex journey, but Dwayne helped us uncover the pros and cons of signing with a label versus going it alone. The key? Understanding the business side of the industry is crucial. Together, we discussed the importance of consistency, staying true to your creative process, and fostering partnerships with labels and other industry professionals to help you achieve your goals without sacrificing ownership of your creative material.
Lastly, we touched on the financial side of the music industry, emphasizing the need for artists to be aware of advances, interest rates, and the true implications of those financial agreements. With Dwayne's guidance, we delved into the importance of budgeting for studio time, paying the people who contribute to your success, and avoiding the all-too-common pitfall of being blinded by the money. Don't miss this insightful and informative conversation with Dwayne McCray, and let his valuable experiences in the music industry inspire and guide you on your own creative journey.
