Bondi Wave Speaker Focus: Nick Chugg

Organisation: Chugg Entertainment — Project Manager

How did you first become involved in the music business and how did you end up where you are today? Born into it.

What do you think will be the biggest issue affecting the music industry in the next 12 months and why? Ticket scalping. It's becoming a major issue in Australia and it's affecting a lot of people.

What advice would you give young practitioners in your area starting out today? Don't give up. The music industry can destroy your soul and it can also be extremely rewarding.

What will you be primarily discussing during your appearance at Bondi Wave? Will focus on the live scene.

What are you hoping that people will be able to learn from your panel/interview? These interviews are great and the fact you can talk to people after the talks and further down the road, still giving advice to people you meet at these events, is fantastic for the industry.

When and where is your panel/interview? 23 Jun, Bondi Pavilion Theatre.
