This week on Playlisted, Austin Burke sits down with longtime music industry executive, producer, manager and entrepreneur Christy DiNapoli for a conversation packed with insight for artists, songwriters and anyone trying to make a living in music.

Christy has spent four decades in the industry, with a career spanning artist development, management, publishing, record production and music technology. His résumé includes helping develop, manage, publish and produce multi-platinum country band Little Texas, three Grammy nominations, numerous industry awards and work on projects totaling more than 13 million albums sold.

Today, Christy is taking everything he’s learned and putting it into MIC — Music Industry Community, a new platform built specifically for the music industry. MIC brings networking, bookings, streaming analytics, professional tools, collaboration and career resources together in one place, with the goal of giving independent artists and music professionals more control over their careers.
