The Money Conversations the Music Industry Never Has
What happens between the gigs? What do you do when the tour ends, the royalties trickle in, and the bills do not stop? What does it actually look like to build a financial life around a career that does not follow the rules?
Every episode, host Jason K. Powers sits down with musicians and music industry insiders to pull back the curtain on the financial realities of chasing this dream. The highs, the lows, the moments nobody talks about, and the strategies that actually work.
No fluff. No generic financial advice. Just honest conversations with people who have lived it.
“Backstage Money is where music and money collide. Honest stories, practical insights, and raw lessons to help you stay in control while building a career you love.”
Real People. Real Stories. Real Industry.
Every guest brings a different angle on what it takes to survive and thrive in the music business.

Backstage Money exists because musicians deserve better financial tools than what the industry hands them. Jason K. Powers has spent years around the music world, collecting vinyl, spending late nights at concerts, meeting artists, and connecting with the people who make the music he loves.
He also comes from the financial world. And he realized nobody had ever handed musicians a roadmap that actually works. So he built one.
If the conversations on this show are making you think differently about your own financial situation, that is by design. When you are ready to go deeper, Jason works directly with musicians and artists to build financial systems that support their career, their creativity, and their life beyond the stage.

No one-size-fits-all advice. Just a real conversation about where you are and what could actually work for you.
