Hacking Music: Recipes for Growing a Thriving Artist Career //May 17, 2023
Find out who you are and do it on purpose. - Dolly Parton - DOMINO BELIEF #1: KNOW THYSELF
Domino Belief[s] A community series where we will take a “slice” and unpack it. How it works, how it benefits what you’re doing and how it compounds over time. These “dominos" stacked together “end to end” act like actual dominoes. There are no accidents or surprises when dominos fall. When your dominos are lined up they fall into each other every time…they WORK. They build mometum almost automaticly. Once our beliefs [ some call it mindset or models] are lined up, they strengthen what we DO, how we WORK and where we will GO. But here's the trick....You have to SET UP your dominos. They don't come out of the box that way. Audit your habits to match the destination you want. Your habits are compounding, either favorably or unfavorably.

Song Archetypes with Kurt Goebel
Archetypes have traditionally been the realm of films and filmmakers. Undeniable characters such as Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Frodo and Thelma and Louise.
In this conversation, we talk about archetypes and how they apply to songs and music supervision. Giving music supervisors, and artist producers clear tracks to run on. As well as helping them avoid the playing “the music brief game” that distracts so many artists.
Kurt Goebel is one of Nashville’s finest producers and songwriters. Enjoy this conversation.

Build Your Moat - Protect, Fortify and Expand your Career
How to Protect, Fortify and Expand your career by learning to spot your vulnerabilities, gaps and blindspots.
On this episode of Hacking Music's weekly live podcast, John and Dylan discuss "Building Your Moat" as a smart artist and entrepreneur. Developing protective barriers around your career as a musician will be essential to longevity.
In any war or competitive game, you have your “Defense” and you have your “Offense”. Your “Defense” protects where you are NOW and allows your “Offense” for TOMORROW. So you can go score some points, things like: new initiatives, new campaigns, new deal and new partnerships.
Let’s talk about how you can strengthen your Defensive position so you can be on Offense even better.

Agile Artists - Managing Projects that MATTER with Tommy Norman
Hey everybody, welcome to a conversation I call Agile Artists. This is all about managing projects that matter. We are joined today by my guest, Tommy Norman. This is EP 5 in How To Build A Platform Under Your Music: The 10 Habits That Are More Powerful Than Talent.
Whether we realize it or not, EVERYBODY IS A PROJECT MANAGER and to a large extent EVERYTHING IS A PROJECT. So let's make sure we get this right.To be clear, I’m not talking about "quick" tasks, the “one and done” type things. I’m talking about chunky ones. The three month... six-month projects that are SUPER important to growing your career.
This conversation is about those kind of projects. The ones that may scare you a little bit. The ones that involve a number of people, all focused on building and winning together.
Capeesh?
When we start out, many of us may not think of ourselves as a “project manager”, but at the end of the day, as your career grows and you begin to work on larger and more important projects, your role is actually, that of “overseer” and “manager” of that project. You are the “director”of the film if you will.
For new-ish artists, often times, the thing limiting your ability to grow is you not recognizing that you are responsible for managing your projects. An young “artist’ will want to “feel” their way though, and “improvise” a way, after all they are artists right? Well, NOT when managing big and chunky projects. Operating as an “Artist” only will seriously limit your growth when you managing projects with your “creative" muscle.
A solid understanding of PROJECT MANAGEMENT is VITAL as you move from a “DEVELOPING” artist to a “DEPLOYING” artist to “DOMINATING” artist.As your career grows so do your responsibilities. This is exactly why I wanted to talk with Tommy. He has managed thousands of projects over the last 15 years and his HINDSIGHT is actually our FORESIGHT.
John
Also, if this makes your tail wag. I want to give you something that will move you forward.

Stage Experiences not Concerts - “How to Build a Platform Under Your Music” Part 1
►► Grab My FREE "How to Build a Platform Under Your Music" - https://www.hacking-music.com/platform
ARTISTS SELL EXPERIENCES. Full Stop. In the legacy music business artists primarily “sold” their music. In the new music marketplace the “music”, still INCREDIBLY important, now feeds the many “experiences” the artist CREATES, STAGES and SELLS.
There are dozens of “experiences” artists are now responsible for. To give you an idea, think of how many products [ aka: experiences ] Disney created around the movie Frozen. Dozens maybe? Hundreds? The Disney model is now the standard for career, thoroughbred, profitable artists. Today we are going to dive into one of my favorite topics; building remarkable experiences. Experiences are what drives your growth, whether it’s in concert, in ecom, on a live stream or in recorded music staging a great experience is a non-negotiable for artists who are building a world-class career.
A couple questions we want to answer in this video:
- How have concerts changed? - What do fans and customers expect in the new music world? - Are you providing your fans with a world-class remarkable experience? - What makes a great experience? - Are you ignoring your experiences? - Who are the artists and brands who successfully and consistently create world-class experiences?If you are not thinking about the experiences around your career, it will be like putting a bottleneck on your success. Experiences are what drives your growth, whether it’s in concert, in ecom, on a live stream or in recorded music staging a great experience is a non-negotiable for artists who are building a world-class career. In this first video in the “How to Build a Platform Under Your Music” series we look at how to stage experiences instead of just the traditional concerts. This is an essential discipline for building a platform under your content [your music]
From the Hacking Music field guide:
An EXPERIENCE is an immersible moment impacting the five senses that cannot be duplicated by digital means. While in the past, the consumer has often been content to be simply be a spectator, today’s consumer expects to be an active participant that can actually play a role IN EVEN SHAPE the outcome of an event. Simply stated, an experience moves from transactional to transformational. In this episode of ‘Hacking ‘Music with John Pisciotta” I’m gonna talk about how to start thinking about staging world class experiences. How artists in the past, had to wait 20 or 30 years before focusing on this and how you the NEXT generation of great artists, can start getting this into your day-to-day workflow today. My hope is that after this discussion you’ll be able to pinpoint where you are in staging great experiences. Are you developing this, or are you deploying this or are you dominating in this.
Excited to have this conversation with you!

The Cupcake Hack - Hacking Music with John Pisciotta
Episode 06 - The Cupcake Hack, Hacking Music with John Pisciotta
About Hacking Music:
Welcome to the Hacking Music podcast, here you will learn the Strategic Frameworks, Force Multipliers & Micro Habits essential for thriving in the new music marketplace. Our mission is to help you to massively grow your artist career in new ways that support, strengthen and sell your content. Additionally, we bring together music and media leaders to unpack how strategy and execution drive their success.
The Cupcake Hack helps artists identify how projects can be broken down, better managed, and more easily completed. Such projects can range from planning a tour to developing a marketing plan for a new album. Managing projects like these well is important because each of them contribute to building momentum in a career.
Music artists tend not to make great business managers because they bite off more than they can chew when starting a new project such as planning a tour or creating a new album. They have grand ideas and visions but reaching the end seems like such a massive undertaking that many of them become overwhelmed and give up.
The Cupcake has six important attributes:
Small size - It is small in scope and does not take up very much room or require a plethora of supplies to bake correctly. Completable - Baking a cupcake is a task that is manageable and is not intimidating. Quick - You don’t have to dedicate a great deal of time to bake a cupcake. Learning - When you are baking a cupcake, it is easy to identify exactly what you need to improve at. Winnable - Completing a cupcake builds confidence for everybody involved. Momentum - What you learned through baking the Cupcake can be put to use whenbaking on a larger scale.
BENEFITS OF THE CUPCAKE HACK
Supercharged Learning Cycles - Breaking down large projects into smaller ones subjects the artist to more learning cycles (see definition below). This results in the artist improving at that particular task. Hope - Accomplishing smaller wins leads to the artist feeling more optimistic and excited due to the creation of momentum in their career. To put it simply, things are moving! It also helps you remain relevant in the eyes of the outside world because it appears that you are constantly doing something. Better Music - Because you are putting yourself through The Cupcake Hack over and over again, you begin to improve at that task. An example would be how some of the best songwriters in the industry constantly advocate that artists attempt to write a new song every few days. Improvement comes naturally with increased learning cycles. Focus - It is much easier to stay focused on what needs to be done when you are seeking to accomplish a smaller task. You aren’t wasting time, energy, or money on things that might not be necessary to reach your goal. It is also much easier to make decisions that avoid costly mistakes. The Wedding Cake Appears - One of the best things you will learn about The Cupcake Hack is that focusing on the small things leads to the big things taking care of them- selves. Think of a novelist committing to writing one chapter each week. After several months, the novelist would have a rough draft in place that includes the foundation for an entire story. They had their head down focusing on baby steps only to look up and realize they had finished a marathon.Becoming Newsworthy, Modern Messaging, PR & Story w/Eric Dahl - Hacking Music with John Pisciotta
