How To Pursue A Career In Music
In this episode, Scott discusses general info that emerging artists need to think about when considering a career in music. About the show: Breakdown with Scott Austin provides insight into the issues plaguing emerging artists in the modern music industry. This series provides answers and commentary on key music business topics affecting the independent musician. The show was created to provide current information and commentary straight from an industry insider who knows, Authentik Artists CEO and former A&R Executive for Maverick, Warner Bros and Capitol Records Scott Austin. Austin has additionally appeared as a special guest commentator on EXTRA, G4’s “Attack of The Show” and many other network shows.
I’m pleased to announce that I have been asked to moderate “It’s Broken, Fix It”, a panel featuring multi-platinum Record Producer/Record Mogul Dallas Austin (Madonna, TLC, Pink, Kelis), Steve Yegelwel, President, S-Curve Records and other industry leaders at the 2008 CMJ Music Festival taking place in New York City next month.
This is the first year I’ve been asked to speak at a coveted CMJ engagement and I am truly honored. I am proud to add this amazing focal point to the growing list of opportunities where those in the know including EXTRA, G4 TV, Style Network, Music Connection Magazine and others, have asked my advice on music industry issues.
If you’re going to be at CMJ in NYC this year, hit me up and let’s grab a cocktail.

Big props to my friend and former signing Eric Hutchinson for his debut performance on Jay Leno tonight… it’s always nice to see talented young artists achieving their dreams, and equally as exciting when I can take credit/original bragging rights for said performance!!!

Congrats.
