Breaking Through the Starving Artist Mentality with Bree Noble

Brand Voice Runway with Hersh Rephun

In this episode, Hersh Rephun chats with Bree Noble about surviving as a freelance musician, the 'starving artist' mindset, and the necessity of business skills. Bree shares advice on diversifying income and using other skills to fuel a music career. They also discuss her podcast, 'Women of Substance', and the challenges musicians face when transitioning into independent artists.

As a starving artist myself, I once moved the world with the misconception that business was, well, not my business. I had the right brain covered, and what was left was someone else's expertise. In this episode, I talk with Bree Noble, who is helping Message-Driven Musicians build their fanbase, generate reliable Income and make an impact with their Music & Message. A former Director of Finance, she now makes music, and hosts the Women of Substance Podcast and The Profitable Musician Show, which deliver helpful information to musicians about how to earn money from their craft. Her Release Concierge service helps artists market their new release on social media, get PR placements and monetize their new fans.
