There are a million music business courses out there, but we dare you to find another that teaches you how to blow fire in a fan’s face and still get paid for it. In fact, Ben Weinman might argue that’s part of what made his mathcore band The Dillinger Escape Plan so successful for so long: authenticity, risk-taking, an obsessive focus on fans, and an unwavering DIY ethos. Named one of SPIN’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of “the 20 Most Influential Metal Guitarists of the Modern Era” by VH1, Ben is a highly sought-after artist who has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry like NIN, System of a Down, and Soundgarden, scored films for HBO, managed Grammy-winning artists, and found success in some of the most unlikely places. In The Business of Uncompromising Art, Ben draws from his 20+ year DIY career and teaches how to turn your art into a fulfilling, sustainable, lifelong career without sacrificing your values or integrity, and explain how he took what many called an “unmarketable” band and transformed it into an iconic act and a profitable economic engine with a rabid fanbase.
