Dick Huey – Toolshed

For today’s episode, we continue to veer off script and join my friend Dick Huey for a chat.

While Dick started out as a musician, then an artist manager, before wisely pivoting over into digital marketing, at the dawn of digital media in music, his fierce advocacy of artists and their rights, mirrored with supporting independent labels as they entered the digital landscape provides for many illuminating stories and perspectives, having worked on initial digital campaigns for Sufjan Stevens and Arcade Fire, to name a few.

Dick’s company Toolshed has evolved into business development work, supporting many new and emerging companies, touching on AI and music analytics. We cover all of that, and a lot more, in our conversation.
