Band Development from A to B - The music industry is tough. It’s tough when you don’t have a manager or major label to open doors for you. It’s tough trying to build up the courage to make the connections or steps to move your project to the next level. It’s tough working a part time job & using all your holiday to fund your passion. I’ve been there.
Through years of learning difficult lessons, picking myself up and having the privilege to work alongside some of the best & hardest working people in the industry I believe I have found effective measures to get your project from A-B.
