Welcome to the CLIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMBBB!! This is a show dedicated to helping singers, songwriters, and indie artists gain leverage in the music business. Leverage is what they’re going to need to succeed in today’s music industry. The days of big labels or big publishing companies developing the diamond in the rough into a household brand name are over.
