Music Business for Weirdos
If you’re a musician whose work falls outside of the mainstream, there are very few resources available to help you navigate the new music business. I’m here to help! I have extensive experience as a weirdo musician and label owner (see below), and I help others navigate digital distribution, promotion, crowdfunding, social media, audience development and more.

“I’ve been in the music business for over 40 years, won a Grammy, toured the world, but when I need any advice about new media, distribution, digital promotion - anything relating to how we get our music out into the world - I call Jon Madof.”
“Jon’s strength is working with ‘off-center’ musicians, who often find it very hard to find guidance that isn’t mainstream-focused. His workshops and private consultations were a huge help as I was preparing to launch my recent album, create a new website and develop my teaching platform on Patreon.”
“Jon has been a huge help to me in understanding my own public presence, sharing what I do and building my creative identity as an artist.”
