Todd McCarty credits driving a cab with getting his music business career off the ground. In 1998 while listening to music between fares, he plotted his future one cab driver confessional at a time. He’s been a drummer, a tour manager, label executive, and a VP of Sales for major label Sony Music. While serving as GM and head of sales at Fearless Records for 13 years he was awarded several platinum and gold sales awards. Todd released over 200 cover songs on the “Punk Goes” compilation which has been streamed over a billion times. Recently he started Band Builder Academy - the premiere online academy for independent musicians - where he shares his artist development process and teaches musicians to build their band’s from opening act to headlining act. Todd joins the show to chronicle his journey from musician to VP of Sales for Sony Music.
