It also has had an all-star roster of advisors and mentors ranging from the late Tupac Shakur to Chuck D of Public Enemy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\"> Visit\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\" spellcheck=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rapcoalition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rapcoalition\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Music Biz Weekly podcast listeners can go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Bandzoogle.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.Bandzoogle.com<\/a> to try it free for 30 days, and use the promo code \u201cmusicbizweekly\u201d to get 15% off the first year of any subscription<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/805648828&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Visit Hypebot for music business news and insights. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Hypebot.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.Hypebot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit Bandsintown to manage your tour dates and communicate with your fans. www.Bandsintown.com<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in speaking with Michael about what he can do to assist with marketing needs\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelbrandvold.com\/blog\/contact-michael-brandvold-marketing\/\">message him with the contact form.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you like the podcast I ask that you visit iTunes and please Rate &amp; Review The Music Biz Weekly podcast. h<a href=\"http:\/\/smarturl.it\/musicbiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ttp:\/\/smarturl.it\/musicbiz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For all discussions, training, tips and tricks related to music marketing don&#8217;t miss any episode of The Music Biz Weekly Podcast.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Download The Music Biz Weekly from iTunes\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/michael-brandvold-music-marketing\/id400401604\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download The Music Biz Weekly Podcast from iTunes.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/the-music-biz-weekly_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Listen to The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on Spreaker.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/michaelbrandvoldmarketing\/sets\/the-music-biz-weekly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Listen to The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on SoundCloud.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Please rate and review The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on iTunes.\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/michael-brandvold-music-marketing\/id400401604\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit iTunes and please Rate &amp; Review The Music Biz Weekly.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Music Biz Weekly Podcast Facebook Page\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/musicbizweekly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit The Music Biz Weekly Podcast on Facebook.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Follow Michael on Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/michaelsb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/michaelsb<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Jay on Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/labellogic1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/labellogic1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michael Brandvold is a freelance music industry consultant based in Northern California.
