Who is Jonny Empire? A couple of years ago I couldn’t have answered that question because I didn’t know him. Last year, I met Jonny through a website called PlaylistPush where aspiring artists like Jonny Empire can pay for their songs to be heard by playlisters like myself. In the good ole days, musicians would be heard by local/national DJ’s playing their songs on the radio. If you got big enough, you could get your song on rotation on MTV or BET. But in order to get this radio/tv play, you needed to be signed to a record label who had an A&R who would fight to get you play. And sometimes pay to get you play through a process called payola. But nowadays, radio and TV is a thing of the past as the majority of music fans hear their new songs from the DSP’s like Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
