At the end of August, CD Baby hosted their DIY Musician Conference in Austin, Texas. Kevin created the DIY Musician brand, which has become the cornerstone of CD Baby’s strategy. Doing It Yourself: better-educating musicians so they have the confidence and skills required to take their careers to the next level. Kevin helps coordinate that flow of knowledge. From getting your music onto DSPs to figuring out how to press vinyl, shortform video, and ultimately how to get paid, they try to cover it all in FAQs, Blog posts and podcasts. Kevin has spent over 17 years working in the music business, both as an artist and an industry professional. After college, he joined the Atlanta-based band Smalltown Poets whose self-titled debut album received critical acclaim, selling over 200,000 copies. They were even nominated for a Grammy.CD Baby is an online distributor of independent music. Founded in 1998 the company was described as an "anti-label".
