CD Baby Still Figuring Out What's Next
The indie distribution OG talks evolution at Indie Week.
CD Baby's been around the block—literally helping independent artists get their music out since the early days of digital distribution. At A2IM's Indie Week, company president Molly Neuman sat down to talk about where the platform's headed and how it's adapting to a music industry that keeps shifting under everybody's feet.
The conversation touches on the real stuff: how CD Baby stays relevant when streaming, social media, and TikTok have rewritten the rules on what it means to break an artist. It's not just about uploading files anymore. Distribution companies have to do more—or risk becoming background noise.
Neuman's been in the indie space long enough to know that standing still is moving backward. The details of what CD Baby's actually building next are worth reading straight from the source, but the takeaway is clear: even the veterans understand the game keeps changing, and you either adapt or get left behind.
