Labels. Artists generally utilise labels (e.g., freelance musician and educator) as a one-sentence elevator pitch of what they do in the industry. It's commonly seen at the start of biographies, advertisements and social media. Nowadays, labels can be extended to express the details of one's gender, nationality, sexuality and much more. It is no longer just a one-sentence elevator pitch, but rather a way of positioning ourselves in the world by choosing to be identified by these 'labels'. It may just be a few extra words to say or write, but it can create a big impact to the world. What are your thoughts about labels? Leave a comment or e-mail us at
