This week, Jason is joined by country music singer and songwriter Dustin Lynch!
Since his debut country album in 2012, Dustin has solidified his place as one of the country’s biggest recording artists with over 6 billion cumulative global streams. Dustin has earned 10 #1 singles, four top five albums, 10 gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certified singles. He’s a moment of the Opry and has earned several high profile awards, wins and nominations. 
In this episode, Dustin shares why he loves competition, how money can be made playing cover songs in college, and getting his start at Tin Roof. He breaks down how the music industry has changed, landing his record and publishing deals, and the difference between the two. Dustin also talks about protecting writers and artists, the biggest scam in the industry, and the importance of artist leverage. Plus, he dives into the real money behind live shows, the hidden costs of award shows and late-night TV, how his Vegas residency came to be, collaborations with top DJs, his go-to social media platform, influencer partnerships, and wraps it all up with a rapid-fire round!
