Making music and performing on stage is cool and all, but let’s not forget how good it feels to get paid for our hard work. Artist Manager, JD, spoke to our Music Industry Mondays crowd about the importance of royalties and how to get those notes in your pockets. Or how to get those digits on your banking app screen? You know what we’re saying.
Running paid ads can always seem a little daunting but it’s a great way to boost your marketing campaign for a new album or single you’ve dropped. If you’re just getting started with your music career and looking to get a couple of eyes (or ears rather) on your music, running paid YouTube ads is the best way to do that.
What if you could go one step further with connecting to your fans and supporters as an artist? In this digital age, artists and content creators are finding it harder to stay connected with their supporters as well as concentrate on building their brands and audience.
Have you ever wished there was just one place you could learn any musical instrument you wanted? Maybe even two at once? Three if you’re a show-off. Well, we have something for you.
Nate James is a singer-songwriter that dominated the music scene from 2004-2009 with the help of his manager, our very own LCCM Principal, Anthony Hamer-Hodges. Nate has left an incredible mark on the industry, winning multiple accolades such as Best New Artist, Best Solo Act and Best Album at the MOBO Awards. He’s a worldwide sensation that became the second most successful artist on the Billboard charts during that time. And recently we had the absolute pleasure to sit with him at one of our Music Industry Mondays events here at LCCM to hear all about Nate and his journey to studying an MA in Music Business.
Terri Walker is an inspiration to many, not just her listeners, but huge names like Keisha White, Joss Stone and even Amy Winehouse. Terri has had a long, successful career in the British contemporary music scene and it’s still flourishing to this day with her new album, My Love Story, dropping just last month.
Having talent, authenticity and drive are great qualities to have if you’re on the journey to becoming a successful artist. But if you’ve got no one to show those qualities to, then all your hard work will be for nothing.
It’s not every day you can get first-hand advice from musicians who have been there, done that and even surprised themselves with their success. But we have our ways here at LCCM which is why we were able to sit down with the pioneers of the UK soul and acid jazz scene, D’Influence, and let them offer up some golden advice.
