Building Empowered Artists: Inside Intercept Music with Jesse Flores
Description
This week on Music Industry Insights Worldwide, we sit down with Jesse Flores, Vice President of Artist and Label Partnerships at Intercept Music — a seasoned music executive with over two decades of experience shaping the business of independent artistry.
From his early days at Universal Music Group and PolyGram Group Distribution to leadership roles at EMI/Capitol Music Group, Lyric Financial, and Virgin Music Group, Jesse has built a career dedicated to empowering artists and labels through innovative partnerships and strategic development.
In this episode, Jesse shares insights from his journey — working with legendary names like Stephen Marley, DJ Premier, Royce Da 5'9", Carla Morrison, Ice Cube, and Tyrese — and how these experiences inspired his mission to help artists take ownership of their creative and commercial success.
We also dive into how Intercept Music, in partnership with Method Man, is redefining modern distribution by combining technology, marketing, and artist-first principles to help creatives thrive in today’s evolving music landscape.
