What do I want to do? Do I want to release a single every month or maybe it’s a couple of singles leading up to an EP and then actually execute that. And, you know, at the same time, be consistent. You don’t want to be an artist that puts out a few tracks and then, you know, goes away for about four years and tries to come back and do it again, because you’re going to have to really start over. I mean, there’s just too much out there, you know, to consume that, you know, you’re going to lose a lot of your fan base if you don’t engage with them. You have to consistently engage with the fan base, consistently release music and devise a plan, like I said, for each of the platforms so you can gauge and analyze exactly what’s working and what’s not. So the next time you put something out, you know what to do.” – Jesse Flores This episode is the second half of my conversation with Vice President of Artist and Label Partnerships at Intercept Music Jesse Flores, as we talk about how Intercept Records is balancing AI advances and human creativity, his thoughts on what music genres might take off next, and why rushing to upload your next single might not be the best long-term strategy for building a fan base.
