PlaqueBoyMax sits down for the latest episode of Boardroom Talks to talk about how streaming changed the music industry, why artists like Drake are embracing livestream rollouts, and how he accidentally built one of the most influential music discovery platforms online. Max opens up about growing up in West Orange, New Jersey, starting YouTube in middle school, and turning “In The Booth” into a cultural phenomenon that gives fans a live look inside the music-making process.
