What happens behind the scenes financially can shape a creative career just as much as what happens on stage or in the studio.
Building Your Wealth: Taxes Behind the Curtain is a practical workshop designed to help music industry professionals better understand how taxes truly impact their income, growth, and long-term wealth.
