Play Episode

By looking at this title, I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “what the hell is a paper asshole, and what does it have to do with this episode?” And while I am going to answer that question, I first have to introduce our guest on the show today who explained to me what having a paper asshole meant.

You may have seen his name pop up from time to time as the featured vocalist on some of your favorite artists tracks like Kayzo, Slander, Jauz, Zomboy, the list goes on. He is one of the coolest people I’ve met in the EDM industry, and his name is Micah Martin.

And what he told me having a “paper asshole” meant was that there are people that are going to try and screw you over in the music industry. And it's up to you to learn how to navigate around people who might have ill intentions for you and your career. This guy has seen it all, from selling his vocals early on for $200 a song on a few tracks that later made up to $400k in royalties. To seeing artists being forced into contracts that they never wanted to sign.
