016. Creating Music For Creators w/ Katrina Stone

Story Greenlight with Jeff Bartsch

While the creative world has seen massive change in recent years, the music industry has been dealing with industry-disrupting change for decades now. But as with any change, there is always a way to use that change to our own advantage.

Katrina Stone is one of the top-performing musicians on Artlist.io. She is a full-time musician and producer who creates her own music, owns her own music, and distributes her content via TV, film, commercials, and online content all around the world.

Get ready to take notes on ways that we can all take control of our own creativity.
