Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Justin Kickett. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Justin, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear from you about what you think Corporate America gets wrong in your industry and why it matters.
FM radio is a dying media like cable TV. Phones are everything, radio, TV, movies, camera, etc. Corporate owners care more about profits rather than the artists they are playing. There are many commercials on FM radio and they play the same songs over and over. We focus more on local or underground artists because they are the ones who need more promotion
Justin, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
a lot of information is here. https://mycitymymusic.com/mission I opened my studio in 2007. I got into radio in 2014. I am an artist, I have a recording studio, I have done many events, and finally settled into radio because it is the best way to showcase our artists. I am proud to announce that our 10 year anniversary will be 2024. My studio rates are reasonable and I have ways that the shows can earn income as well.
Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.
I went to school for 8 years, but was unable to graduate. I have worked in restrants for a long time. Radio started out as a hobby, but as I was beginning to grow and get new shows, I was able to earn income and quit my “day job.”
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
quality. I currently have +/- 25 radio shows throughout the week. The main growth is from word of mouth. And shows that derive from other show hosts. People tell their friends that it was a good experience. I like to see everyone that walks in the door to have a good time when they leave.
