Money money money! 

I don't know about you but where I come from, money is everyones favourite subject to complain about and no one's favourite to actually discuss.  

One question I get often, mainly from taxi drivers, when I say I am a musician is 

"So, do you make a living out of that then...?" or "are you famous?" (which I find hilarious!!)

As a culture (I am from Scotland) we do not talk about money unless we are complaining about having none.

It can all feel very hush hush and secret.  We fear that disclosing our ways to pay the rent are in some way going to make us seem arrogant, or up our selves.   Some people even worry their 'space' in the industry will be taken away from them if they share a new idea or tactic that's working. 

But I believe that by being open and honest about how we earn money through music can bring us closer together and get rid of the old aged fable that 'luck' is the only factor involved in a successful music career 

Spoiler: it's not luck, it's hard work. 

Listen in and let me know what you think!

Great News!

I am running a weekly writing session for songwriters called the Friday 15 Minute Free Write.  These sessions are practical and serve as excellent creative opening exercises and a judgement-free zone!

All you need is yourself, something to write with and 15 minutes.  

Head over to www.beradicalmakemusic.com/freewrite and I will see you next Friday!
