On this episode of Michigan Creates, Ara Topouzian sits down with Wayne State University alum and musician Chris Simpson to explore what it really takes to build a sustainable career in today’s music industry. Chris shares his journey from rock-influenced guitarist to jazz studies major, and ultimately to music business entrepreneur. After realizing that talent alone wasn’t enough, he pivoted to understanding contracts, branding, booking, marketing, and the often-overlooked business side of music. Through his company, Catch and Play Songs, Chris now helps Michigan artists develop strategy, build community, and navigate the evolving music landscape. He also serves on the board of the Michigan Music Alliance, where he helped launch Business in the Key of D — a statewide professional development event connecting musicians with industry leaders, mental health resources, record labels, and practical business tools. In this conversation, Chris and Ara discuss: • Why musicians must think like small business owners • The shift from physical albums to streaming and home studios • The power of branding and storytelling • Mental health in the music industry • How collaboration can strengthen Michigan’s music ecosystem If you're an emerging artist — or a seasoned musician looking to better understand the business side of your craft — this episode offers practical insight and inspiration.
