"Easy" Success? REALITY vs. Expectation and The Real Business of Releasing Music with Greg Mihaly

"Easy" Success? REALITY vs. Expectation and The Real Business of Releasing Music with Greg Mihaly Everyone wants the moment — few are willing to survive the years it takes to earn it. In this episode of What the Nell!? Podcast, Nell sits down with friend and Trop Rock artist Greg Mihaly to break down the real story behind “overnight success,” the unseen business of releasing music, and why most artists may not make it before the music ever has a chance to work. Greg Mihaly has been making music professionally for 30 years and only now are many people discovering his work. In this candid, no-BS conversation, Greg opens up on what actually goes into releasing music as an independent artist: distributors, royalties, featured artists vs. co-writes, playlisting, and why hype before a release doesn’t always matter. They also dive into Greg’s upcoming single “Here Comes the Sun” featuring Alan Jax Bowers, the creative process behind the collaboration, and why momentum is built after the release, not before it. This episode is a must-listen for musicians, podcasters, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are tired of surface-level advice and want to understand what longevity really looks like.

Greg shares practical independent artist strategy for music marketing, why pre-release hype doesn’t always work without a big team, how fans can support artists through playlisting, likes, hearts, direct downloads, merch, and live shows, and what it’s really like collaborating on a new track—his upcoming single “Here Comes the Sun” featuring Alan Jax Bowers, premiering on Radio Trop Rock during Livin' Like Kenny. If you’re a musician, songwriter, producer, podcaster, or creative entrepreneur looking for actionable advice on releasing music, building momentum, and staying consistent long enough to earn that “overnight success,” this conversation is packed with behind-the-scenes insight and industry keywords you can actually use.
