What Dollywood Got Right About Artist-Led Businesses

Dolly Parton’s most valuable asset wasn’t

her music, it was her theme park.

We kickoff the episode with an exploration

of Dollywood.

Then on our road to Trapital Summit, Shot Tower Capital’s Rob Law and Antwyne DeLinde joins us for bold prediction: Why AI could increase the value of human-made music, improve royalty collection, and strengthen catalog cash flows.

Musixmatch Co-President Marco Paglia also predicts that, within three years, every AI-generated song will be licensed before it is created, opening the door to personalized music and entirely new revenue streams.
