In this episode, I sit down with longtime radio personality and artist manager @KrisRochester!
Kris shares how he landed a job in the radio industry—eventually scoring a gig in San Diego, where he worked alongside some of the biggest names in country music. We talk about his all-time favorite interviews (including a president or two) and what it was like sitting down with legends like @Kenny Rogers.
We dive into how streaming music has changed, Kris also opens up about his transition from radio to artist management, and the challenges of breaking an artist in today’s music landscape.
This episode is packed with stories, insights, and a real look at what it takes to make it in the industry. Let’s get into it!
