The Artistpreneur is the brainchild of CEO Evan Price. With 20 years in the industry he has had firsthand experience in every corner of music business. Evan launched The Artistpreneur out of the dorm room of Columbia College Chicago while obtaining his Bachelors Degree in Music Business.Since then he has helped launch hundreds of music brands, transforming artists and musicians into "artistpreneurs".
"Artists often forget about the 'business' in 'music business'. They fail to formulate a business plan, develop sales skills, and everything needed to launch a worldwide brand. I want to help them develop a strong foundation for a business they could run for the rest of their lives."
With experience spanning artist development, event planning, and digital strategy, he has dedicated his career to helping musicians and entrepreneurs thrive in the modern industry. Combining creativity with a data-driven mindset, he has studied how labels, companies, and independent artists grow by turning those insights into actionable marketing and sales strategies that build sustainable careers.
As Head of Digital Marketing and Sales at Artistpreneur, he oversees advertising campaigns, client acquisition, and sales training. He provides guidance in ad performance analysis, managing budgets and reporting, building and optimizing campaigns, as well as building entrepreneurs confidence to sell their devices. He has managed ad campaigns, trained hundreds of business owners, and consistently driven measurable results in revenue, engagement, and long-term growth.
