In this very first episode of Creators Podcast, we talk with Chris Blackmore, founder of Holy Smokes Records, based in Glasgow, Scotland. At the age of 19, he started his own record label representing regional contemporary Scottish Folk artists. Chris and I talked about what challenges he faced starting his own business with no prior experience in the music industry, and what value his label gives independent artists in the era of DIY publishing.
