Sarah Jamer is a dynamic music industry professional, armed with a diploma and a degree in business. Sarah co-owns The Syrup Factory, an artist management services company, where she works with artists, labels, and management teams to develop their business and creative strategy - like a boss. In this episode, we try to answer questions like, "Why is it so hard to include us in your drop-down menu?!" in efforts to make funding more inclusive and accessible for all.

In our very first episode, our host Krista Keough talks to John Mullane, a Halifax producer and singer of the JUNO Award nominated band, In-Flight Safety. John's volunteer time at Music/Musique NB paid off early-on in his musical career, and together we discuss the importance of funding artists and the music they make. More investment for recordings! If only it were that easy.
