David Byrne, founding member of the Talking Heads, label owner, and general music business presence, gives a great interview regarding the current state of the industry. Byrne makes the point that while technological innovation creates efficiency for the savvy artist, technology alone cannot enable you to have a successful career. Rather, many of the same practices that the Talking Heads utilized to become one of the most important and successful bands in the history of rock and roll are still very much relevant for artists today. However, the combination of these practices combined with the utilization of the new technology (the new tools as we refer to them on the Artists House site) can lead to great advantages for artists.
