Ainsley Costello: How Bitcoin is Disrupting the Music Industry

Technology is disrupting the music industry once again.
In this week's special 4-part bonus series, you’ll hear rapid fire interviews with incredible musicians who are using cutting edge podcasting tech to reinvent the music industry.
We’re kicking off this bonus series with one of the top artists in the world of value-for-value music, Ainsley Costello.
Ainsley began performing in school and community musical theatre productions at the age of 7. Fueled by her passion and determination, she began taking classes at Berklee College of Music online at just 15 years old.
A rare combination of raw talent and relentless ambition, Ainsley has a resume of those twice her age, graduating from Berkeley magna cum laude with a degree in music business at the age of 19, with over 20 commercial single releases and 200 shows in 20+ states under her belt—no big deal. And I get the feeling that she's just getting warmed up.
In this episode with Ainsley Costello, you’ll hear:
What really happens when artists sign their lives away to record companies
The future of music in the age of generative AI
How artists and DJs are using podcasting technology to reimagine the music industry
A few inspiring words that might just convince you to chase your dreams
And more…
Make sure to listen to the end of this interview to hear one of Ainsley’s tunes, “Cherry on Top” the first song to ever to hit one million Satoshis on Wavlake!
