Series 1 - Being Independent delves into what it means to be an indie artist, from writing/composing and making an album right through to getting up on stage. I've spoken to 9 independent musical acts about their journey, how they got to where they are now and much more...

For the 9th and final episode in this series, I spoke to Jukio Kallio, formerly Kozilek and Kuabee, a Finnish composer who is best known for creating game soundtracks and electronic music.

The conversation covers writing music to spec, exhaustion, social media addiction and much more, trust me, this one is well worth a listen (as were the other 8 to be fair, maybe you should catch up if you aren't up-to-date!).

Come and give 10000 Hours of Indie a follow via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠your favourite social tools⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. There's some great interviews coming over the next few months.
