Fruchter is the founder of the indie Hip Hop label, Closed Sessions, and was recognized by the Chicago Tribune as a “Chicagoan of the Year” in 2016. He is a graduate of Indiana University, and currently lives in Humboldt Park. His most recent writing can be found at LL Cool’s Rock The Bells.Today, we talk about founding Closed Sessions and writing for rubyhornet in the height of the blog era, what today's music industry can learn from it when it comes to community building, branding, and more. This is a fun, informative episode and a moment nostalgia for anyone that was a part of the blogging community in the early 2010s. Even if you weren't, you'll get an idea of what it brought to today's industry by the episode's conclusion.Leave a review and join us in our discord via our Patreon at https://musicbusinesspodcast.com/community to discuss the episode with Sam, Jordan, and the Music Business Podcast community.

Using the Blog Era to Win in 2021 with Co-Founder of Closed Sessions Alexander Fruchter

Don't quit your day job is a phrase often used to discourage people from pursuing their out-of-office dreams.  but what If you have those dreams AND love your day job.  This week we sit with DJ RTC a.k.a Alexander Fruchter to discuss how his teaching position informs how he runs his label Closed Sessions and how putting theory into practice informs his teaching.
