Numerous musicians use their art to paint a historical context of their cultural backgrounds - the struggles and triumphs that their ancestors, past and emerging, have experienced. Just as books and novels are used to depict stories and folktales, similarly, songs can be storytelling devices that use lyrical imagery and melody to tell a tale.
Elena Rodriguez-DePaul joins us to acknowledge some of the artists from our history, and presently who use song as a form of storytelling and activism in the fight for Civil Rights and bring further awareness to the Indigenous peoples who have experienced genocide. (read more...)

We've all probably heard by now about sync licensing as a tool for musicians' career growth and for making a more sustainable income as an indie artist. But, this knowledge has probably come primarily from music supervisors, agents, or musicians themselves.

So, if you're an indie artist and are not signed to a label, how in the world do you do all of this yourself? ...
