Q&A with
summary
Covers why peer‑run talent battles build resilient performers and argues streaming and apps augment rather than replace live artists, illustrated by a working Shazam AR pop‑up demo that actually brought an artist into phones. Calls out a surprising statistic — 0.002% of VC goes to companies founded by Black women — and describes a proof‑of‑concept all‑female label and mentorship model that deploys lawyers and managers to retain rights. Offers practical advice: surround yourself with the right team, prepare for failure, and use tech plus policy to scale impact.
