Listen Later

To help us kickstart the year Alexa is joined by VocalizeU’s very own Big Billy Clark and Elliott O’Connor who were here to help us and the singers we work with navigate the music industry. VocalizeU is a 10-day immersive artist program offering a 360° music education with performance, identity, production, songwriting, theatre, and management.

KEY MOMENTS 

‘There’s a lack of artist development at major labels which is why artists are forced to do it themselves’ 

‘No matter where you are as an artist, stay true to who you are. People can see authenticity’

‘It’s important to have a story that’s relatable to people’ 

‘Sometimes the box you check is not what they’re looking for right now’
