Listen "Commercializing your Music in an Attention Economy | Pink Mario"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the Songs with Substance Podcast where I invite introspective musicians to skip the small talk and speak candidly about their work & how they experience the music industry.
My mission is to help indie musicians feel inspired to create their version of success without compromising on their authenticity, and to introduce indie music-lovers to new up-and-coming artists.
In this episode I interviewed Pink Mario, a dream pop indie artist based in Berlin. He just released a single called ‘You Know Who to Call' in which he explores the value of human connection in our increasingly fast-paced and digitally governed lives.
We spoke about his process in writing the song, as well as the relationship between boredom and creativity, how to have a healthy relationship with social media as an independent artist in an attention economy, what success in music even means today & the challenge of learning to commercialize your art.
