Today’s guest is Brian ‘Z’ Zisook. Co-founder and Senior Vice President of Global Operations and head of Artist and Label Services at Audiomack, an artist first music streaming platform that allows artists to upload music and fans to stream and download songs. He is also one of the founders of DJ Booth, a mixtape hosting streaming service and later, an industry leader in music journalism that entered into a content partnership with Audiomack in 2020. Z and I discussed the platform he’s created for himself on X (formerly known as Twitter) as a beacon of music business education, being a true advocate for artists and attributing that to why he’s never wanted to start a label, what his intentions were when creating Audiomack, carrying yourself with integrity as a white person in Hip-Hop, fans focusing heavily on sales and accolades, and more.
