February 11, 2020 Creatives In Music 4 - Making Friends with Brands
Creatives in Music 4: Making Friends with Brands

Quick message for early artists. If you are looking for creative route for growth outside of your current circle, find common values with other brands or identities and cross pollinate those audiences.

Just like when you make friends, teamwork and sponsors are the same - you find a common interest and share your love for it. Its all part of the journey!

Anything not authentic is obvious, so even if an audience looks big or tempting - approach at your own peril! Integrity over all IMO.

February 04, 2020 Creatives In Music 3 - Drake wins 'Fair Use' case
Drake's recent win regarding the use of Jimmy Smith's statement inside of his 'Pound Cake' instrumental is a great example of the difference between Master and Publishing rights.
if music was like a book.

The book itself (pages, font, ink etc) is what the Record Labels own and sell to make money. it's the product or the file it travels in.

The story within the book, is the composition. it's intangible, but it has a value. This is what the Publisher owns, and they ensure the writer gets paid for every use or reference of the story.

In this case, Drake got permission to make a book with some of their pages, but he did not get permission to use some of the story. 'Fair Use' ruled that the piece of Jimmy Smith's story that was used did not add, subtract or change the value of Drake's story, despite the pages being there, so no permission in this case was required.

January 26, 2020 Getting into Live Music - Direct Experience
Simply put, getting direct experience by yourself is a great quick route to progression.
Here is a chopped version of a chat I had with Paisley (Thanks for the chat Paisley!) about her situation and how she would like to get into the music industry, specifically into live music.
Find a way to feel comfortable approaching your ideal role head on with your own experience and contacts and be happy to make them yourself. Don't feel you need the support of an agency/label, despite being popular choices, as these methods can be slow & distracting. If you are happy going in the direction, make the next step and let the rest flow.
