À propos de cet audio

In ”DROPPED,” music artists and songwriters Matt Belmont and Greg Holden share their extraordinary journeys from small-town Northern England to crafting hit records and signing major label contracts in Los Angeles. But their dreams took an unexpected turn when they were dropped by their labels before their albums were even released. As Matt and Greg connect with more artists, they uncover a shockingly common tale. They expose the real life human impact of an industry that can often treat the people making music as tax write offs and they explore whether it’s possible to pursue a dream against insurmountable odds. Join Matt and Greg as they shine a light on these untold stories, break down the industry’s hidden pitfalls, and navigate their own comeback journeys, but this time as fiercely independent artists.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.
