On this week’s podcast episode is label consultant, music photographer, and co-host of the Your Morning Coffee podcast Jay Gilbert.
Jay has always been on the cutting edge of Digital Music Marketing during his time with Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music Groups. In fact, he was VP New Media and Online Marketing for Universal Music Enterprises.

After he struck out on his own in 2015, he began curating a weekly newsletter called Your Morning Coffee with a list that eventually grew to 15,000 readers. It’s now one of the most influential newsletters in the music industry.
During the interview we talked about the role of record labels today, the rise of solo artists versus bands, attribution and intellectual property in AI, Jay’s advice for aspiring musicians, and much more.
