Young Entrepreneur Series

In-depth interviews with young entrepreneurs and innovators, explores what motivates and inspires young entrepreneurs to start businesses, non-profits, and projects that make the world a better place.

Meet Cassie Leachman and Matthew Farrelly, founders of the music production, artist management, and record label Capricious Productions.   

Because of you, Cassie and Matthew were inspired to start Capricious Productions while studying at Syracuse University. Unlike large, corporate record labels, they are committed to transparency and offer custom contracts to artists that allow them greater freedom over their music and futures.

“We try really hard to educate the artists that we work with on all of the pieces and parts of a recording contract,” Leachman says. “It’s really hard for artists, and really scary if you don’t know what you’re doing, so we try to make that process as helpful and as educational as possible.”

On this week’s episode (also available on Podcast) of the Young Entrepreneur Series (YES! Series), Cassie and Matthew share how they started their company, how to avoid predatory record label contracts, how professors and networking have helped their business succeed, how they scored their first client, and advice for people wanting to break into the music industry.
