What industry lessons would you like to take away from the BIGSOUND conference? Any advice on how to better get our name out to people and hopefully getting on board with booking agencies and potentially labels is definitely up there.
What do you identify as the most pressing issue impacting the Australian music industry at present? Exposure and saturation of the market. Reliance on social media and touring being so expensive. Being a musician alone will never be a job anymore and more of a hobby due to the expenditure far outweighing the income.
What music trends do you think are dominating right now, and do you have any predictions for the coming year? That's a hard one, hoping to see some big new releases from larger Australian heavy bands though.
When and where is your BIGSOUND showcase? 4 Sep, Crowbar, 8.50pm; 5 Sep, Crowbar, 8.00pm.
