Proving once again that the best path to success is the one you create, FiXT Music’s James Rhodes chats with Haulix about how his company’s open embrace of change is making all the difference.
There are many ways to find success in the music business. One of the oldest and most reliable methods is to follow the lead of someone else. There may only be one Elvis or one Madonna, but dozens of artists had successful, albeit smaller, careers by following the blueprint they created. Their entertainment paths may not be original, but they work, and countless artists trying to make it today are similarly following in the shadow of more current stars.
But you don’t want your career to live in the shadow of someone else. You shouldn’t aspire to be compared to the greats — you should work to be one of the greats.
FiXT Music is an industry original in the most real sense. FiXT is a music company comprised of two labels, a licensing division, a remix marketplace, and more, and all run out of Iowa by a handful of diehard music fans who believe that change is a good thing more often than not. The artists on the FiXT roster have thousands of placements in music, television, and gaming. The company itself was among the first to allow its music to be used on streaming services such as Twitch. FiXT is a trendsetter brand, and their plans for the future are big.
On Thursday, February 25, James Rhodes from FiXT Music appeared at an event for Haulix LIVE! His time with host James Shotwell covered the history of the label, their unique approach to artist discovery, and where FiXT believes the industry is headed in the years to come. Rhodes also answered several questions asked by an audience of industry professionals from all walks of life.
