Описание: 🎥 Inner Circle Insiders Session EP: 34
Clarity Before Momentum (What Labels Actually Notice First)
📅 Recorded January 28, 2026 | ⏱ 75 minutes
🎙️ Hosted by Jazzmyne Kierra — Fanbase Fairy Godmother
✨ Guest: Nate Stevenson (VP Marketing at EMPIRE)

Most artists think they need more exposure.

More posts.
More content.
More noise.

But from the label side?

They’re not looking for louder.
They’re looking for clearer.

In this Inner Circle Insiders session, we brought in Nate Stevenson (VP of Marketing at EMPIRE) to talk about what actually stands out when artists cross his desk — before numbers, before scale, before anything “pops.”

And spoiler:
It’s not hacks.
It’s not virality.
It’s not a lucky moment.

It’s positioning.

If you’ve ever wondered:
“Am I ready to build real momentum or am I forcing it?”
“How do I stand out without doing the most?”
“What do labels/teams notice FIRST?”
“How do I create meaningful buzz on a small budget?”

This conversation is going to calm you down and sharpen you up.

Because clarity compounds.
And momentum follows clarity, not the other way around.

Borrowing the lens, not chasing approval.

January’s Monthly Mission was FIND.
Not fix.
Not force.
Not fake.
Just… get clear.

Because you don’t need to become louder.
You need to become undeniable.
