How Did You Get Into the Music Industry?

My interest in the music industry began in high school when I started playing drums in a band. Over the years I realised that succeeding as a musician wasn't going to be easy, but I knew that my drive and passion would get me there, eventually!

After years of learning how to market myself I did eventually end up being signed to six different record labels in three different continents and owning my own independent record label called Starharbour Records. Within less than a year the record label was established as one of the leading UK independents and was attracting major record label A&R scouts and well-known artist's on a regular basis.

In 2009 I began writing The Musician's Guide to World Domination to share the wealth of knowledge on succeeding in the music industry that I gained from managing and marketing musicians.

I am now a social media marketing executive for one of the leading digital marketing agencies in the UK and continue to create resources, video courses, tools and provide music marketing consulting for musicians all over the world.
