BTB Ep 1: Meri Amber

In the first installment of the Break the Business Podcast, Ryan and his Co-host Dave talk about how the show will be a weekly discussion of entertainment law, indie music, and popular culture. The legal concepts discussed on the program will be geared toward non-lawyers and the podcast as a whole is designed to help independent artists build their careers while maintaining full control over their creative product. Ryan and Dave also talk about Bon Jovi's recent split from Mercury Records and the implications it has for indie artists everywhere. They also talk about Dave's conundrum involving a pack of sugar-free Jell-O and the hot South Florida sun.This week's guest is Meri Amber, a "geek-pop" singer/songwriter/comic book artist from Australia. Ryan and Dave talk to Meri about designing a great indie artist website, making interesting music videos, and her latest album of Doctor Who tribute songs entitled "Pop Goes the Tardis." Meri's interview led to a broader discussion about several principles that indie artists should follow to advance their careers, including maximizing your content releases to keep your supporters interested, and building a strong team within your network of friends, family, and fans.Music Credit: "Take the World On" by Meri Amber ([email protected]).
