However, as we celebrate the incredible diversity of voices and talents within the music industry, it's essential to acknowledge that the path to equality, diversity, and inclusion has not always been harmonious.

From Stage to Systems: Building Sustainable Careers in Live Music With Ben Ikwuagwu,
In this episode, we’re joined by Ben Ikwuagwu, first-generation Nigerian-American entrepreneur, lifelong musician, and CEO & Co-Founder of Soundcheck Live. After spending over a decade as a professional vocalist, Ben saw firsthand how broken the backend of the live music industry can be — from bookings and payments to crew coordination and cash flow.
Drawing on his background in Supply Chain Management and experience at Apple and Dell, Ben is now building technology that helps artists, freelancers, and live-event professionals operate like real businesses. We dive into how structure creates leverage, why operational clarity is essential for creative freedom, and how technology can empower gig workers to build sustainable, scalable careers.
This conversation sits at the intersection of music, technology, and the future of live events — and offers practical insight for anyone working behind or beyond the stage.
