AI Today: Scaling the Music Business with Brad Stewart

Can AI save the music industry? Host Lou Bortone talks with Brad Stewart, founder of Music Mogul AI, about how technology is finally fixing the "broken" traditional agency model.

Brad explains why modern A&R starts with data—specifically ticket sales—and how he is using agentic AI to automate the "grind" of booking and tour management. If you are an artist, manager, or industry pro, this episode is a blueprint for how to survive the new landscape where data is king.

Topics discussed:

• Why talent buyers care more about your numbers than your sound.

• Automating 90% of agency functions with AI.

• The importance of "advancing" shows and professionalizing the indie artist workflow.
