After weeks of covering COVID-19 and its impact on the music business, it seems safe to say that everyone is adjusting to the new normal. The world as we know it will never be the same, and while change is difficult, it’s also necessary. Some of the best things to ever happen arose from the sudden need to evolve, and we’re hoping that will be the case for many artists’ career as we move forward.

Today’s headlines are only as good as the value they retain after tomorrow’s revelations, so what can be done before the scientists of the world get a handle on this thing called coronavirus?

In today’s episode of Music Biz, host James Shotwell presents a series of questions that artists should be asking themselves while in quarantine. Now more than ever, the ability to adapt to the changing economy of music is essential for longterm survival.
