Episode TMT:76 Aly Gillani On Why Bandcamp Is Music Retail With A Difference & Why AI Is Banned On The Platform
Welcome to The Money Trench! This week, Mark is joined by Aly Gillani, Artist & Label Relations Lead at Bandcamp and Director of First Word Records.
From running his own independent record label, to asking for (and receiving) his dream job at Bandcamp, Aly shares his insight into how the platform is different from other music retail sites, putting artists first, and why the platform has banned AI.
The pair also discuss how the now-legendary ‘Bandcamp Friday’ is impacting artists around the globe, the reality of streaming economics, and his stance on the music business as a whole.
