Derek Hoiem
I love talking about music, artistry, technology, and business. I interview artists, technologists, and business leaders to find out about their journeys, how they do their magic, how they get better at their craft, and how they survive. My concept of "Making Your Own Fun Island" is a way for independent creators to leverage their networks to create movements.
I've been in technology and music business for 30 years, doing UX design, technical product management, and artist management. I've financed the careers of many artists you may know, and regularly coach artists of all kinds.
