Keep Stripping (ft. ARREIS)

Listen up, everyone. The music industry is a mess. The robots are trying to take over. There is snake oil for sale, and some artists have bought in. And yet, there is prevailing hope that this thing is turning back toward community and collaboration, in spite of the best efforts from some of the powers that be.

That’s why your music industry aunt and uncle — weatherers of many-a storm — are here to set the record straight. ARREIS joins The Quinn Spinn once again as our guest on a fiery episode that is sure to help you, independent artists of Earth, navigate this strange wilderness.

This episode of The Quinn Spinn was recorded and produced at The Russell, Nashville, TN.

Opening theme: REVEL 9 – All I’ve Become

Artists Have Had Enough.

Artists have had enough.

Artists are ready for change. Artists are ready for action.

Artists are tired of having their voices suppressed by an algorithm. By a gatekeeper. By a tech company and its “robots.”

Artists want what they’ve always wanted: to create, connect, and inspire. To impact change, and leave the world a better place than the one they found.

Artists don’t want to “optimize the creative process.” They embody the creative process.

And somehow, in this hyper-automated, “profits before people” type of world… that became a bad thing?

Artists deserve a seat at the table, and we’re giving them one.

We’re booking them shows. We’re bringing them to industry events across state and country borders. We’re celebrating their milestones. In the process, we’re connecting with artists and industry changemakers from all over the world because we believe that, if enough of us can get on the same page, we can change the game for the better.

We can create an ecosystem built on sound moral and business principles; one which allows space for art so rich and diverse in scope that it becomes the new standard.

We’re here to create a new music industry: one where Creators Have the Power.

There is no art without artists. There is no music industry without musicians.

It’s time to give them their rightful seat at the table.
