SEASON ONE
Watch real artists get real feedback from real industry executives, live, unscripted, and uncut. Each episode brings Adrian Miller together with two guests from his own circle: longtime friends, collaborators, mentors, and industry peers whose relationships span decades. Together, they trade candid stories, review independent artist demos, give real-time A&R feedback, and share the game they’ve learned from building careers and working alongside some of the biggest artists in the world.
These are the conversations, lessons, and relationships that have helped people navigate the music business, now shared openly so the next generation of independent artists can build sustainable careers of their own.
