Nowadays a lot of people think that signing with a record label, publisher, or agent is like making a deal with the devil - legend has it that famed bluesman Robert Johnson actually did make a deal with the devil!
But even in today's DIY era, so-called 'middle men' - the folks who specialise in details - can and do continue to help take many artists' careers further. Stephen Lumsden, managing director of Intermusica, Sune Hjerrild, CEO of Truelinked Classical Music, and unsigned Australian percussionist Kaylie Melville join Frank J. Oteri for a spirited discussion.
