On Repeat

James Guttman - aka HIGHSOCIETY - had a cushy and fulfilling job working alongside Hisham at Fame House on artist marketing, but his desire to pursue his own music was too strong to ignore. In this week's episode, Hisham explores James' experience in transitioning from someone who worked behind the scenes on various artists' teams to dedicating himself creatively and building one of his own. The two explore success, artistic integrity, the politics of the business, and so much more.

Andreea Magdalina is the definition of a trailblazer. Based in Los Angeles, she focuses most of her time at interaction of music and technology. Among her various projects that include artist management and music partnerships at Skype, perhaps her biggest claim to fame (thus far) is founder of www.SheSaid.so - a network for women in the music industry featuring 1700+ members worldwide aimed at promoting exceptional work by women in the music business. In this episode, we explore the roots of Andreea's career and why she felt compelled to create a platform for women in an industry that continues to be so heavily dominated by men, along with some of the challenges women face and how 2017 may have been "the year of the woman."
