S2.4/E31: How to Record With or Without a Budget w/ Ana Ochoa

How to Build a Sustainable Music Career and Collect All Revenue Streams

It's time to record! The digital revolution has leveled the playing field with regard to accessing recording tools. But with such a wide array of options, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin, as well as know when a recording is finished. Or is it ever? To guide us through all things recording, Host Emily White chats in-depth with Ana Ochoa - a Colombian born international singer/songwriter, music producer, multi-instrumentalist, and sound engineer with degrees in Sound Engineering from Universidad de San Buenaventura & Contemporary Music at EMMAT - Berklee's Global Partner in Bogotá as well as a Master's degree in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University. We learned so much from Ana and hope that you do too! Happy listening & recording.

+Huge thanks to beatBread for their support of this episode and all they are doing for artists! beatBread is a pioneering music and finance company that empowers artists to take control of their careers without giving away ownership of their music or their decision-making power. Founded in 2020, beatBread brings together a team with deep experience in music, finance, artificial intelligence and machine learning to create new opportunities for artists. beatBread provides independent and unsigned artists with financial advances that are repaid through a limited share of revenues from streaming and airplay, over a period of the artist’s choosing. beatBread's funding platform leverages its proprietary ⁠chordCashAI⁠ technology, and millions of dollars from beatBread’s ⁠Investor Network⁠ as well as institutional funds to provide advances that let artists and labels control their marketing and distribution partners while maintaining ownership of their underlying IP.
