Behind the Music Business Podcast

After a ridiculous break, a few false starts, a change of location (I moved house), an addition to my family (I welcomed a daughter into the world) and nearly deciding to stop doing the pod altogether I am back and there will be new episodes every two weeks (hopefully) this year. 

Episode 1 of 2021 is with the fantastic Chantal Epp. Founder of music clearance company @Clicknclear. Chantal is an amazingly driven individual who has thrived on starting multiple businesses around her two loves of music and performance sports.

It was an amazing conversation with her chatting about her journey in music, how it felt to be part of companies not doing so well and also starting up her own businesses (something that can be very daunting).

Below are links to various things mentioned in the episode.

Here is the other returning guest. This was meant to be part two of episode 50 but instead it had to be a separate episode in its own right. Mike was Episode 1 (https://audioboom.com/posts/7020047-mike-burgess-sound-with-mike-music-business-coach) so its fitting that he is also episodes 51 and kicks off the next 50 (I hope) episodes. A lot has happened for Mike in the first 2 years of his new business start up and he talk candidly about what he has been working on these past two years. Some really interesting stuff here.

A special one for Episode 50. I was going to get 2 previous guests back to speak a little bit about what they have been up to these past 2 years but both conversations were longer than anticipated and too good to edit down more than this so they have been split into separate episodes. Here is Danny Roberts (Episode 5 (https://audioboom.com/posts/7020286-danny-roberts-a-r-manager-decca-records) ) returning to talk about leaving Decca and joining Made Records and what they are doing and how it all works now. It’s a great listen (even if I do say so myself). https://www.made.no/label Koko on Instagram  (https://www.instagram.com/kokoweare/) Christy on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/thechristyodonnell/) Email the podcast at [email protected]  Follow the show on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/behindthebusinesspod/) as well.

What an amazing conversation this was. So amazing in fact that I have had to split it into two parts, and here is PART 2. Matt is an amazing Music Supervisor with countless credits to his name. Check him out on IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0081676/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) to see what he has worked on. We talked about his process as a music supervisor and about time he has spent on some of his projects. It’s always a pleasure speaking to Matt I hope you enjoy listening in. https://www.air-edel.co.uk/representation/matt-biffa/ End of the F**king World season 1 best bits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6nLXx2uHns) Sex Eduction - The story so far (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cIdauxVsHE) Email the podcast at [email protected]  Follow the show on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/behindthebusinesspod/) as well.

Giles is an editor in the TV world in Bristol and also the founder and owner of a music production company based out that way as well. So we talked about working in TV and what goes into that, how music fits into that side of his work (great insight into a very important area of the business for those interested in getting their music used in TV and beyond) and also how things have been faring in the world of production music. This is a great companion episode to episode 10 with Ray Pagden (https://audioboom.com/posts/7104928-ray-pagden-production-music-motus-music) who also discussed production music so get involved. https://luckyg.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/luckygproductionmusic/ https://twitter.com/LuckyGLibrary https://www.facebook.com/luckyglibrary Email the podcast at [email protected]  Follow the show on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/behindthebusinesspod/) as well.

I worked with Neil for a time whilst I was part of the team at peermusic publishing so it was awesome just to catch up with him for this conversation. He is an amazing fountain of knowledge for everything music rights related. Something many people take for granted but if you want to be discovered easier and very importantly if you want to get paid then what he has to say here is VERY important.  https://www.universalmusic.com/ Email the podcast at [email protected]  Follow the show on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/behindthebusinesspod/) as well.

This one has been a long time coming. I have been speaking with Laura for many months to be able to talk to her about her career in the creative industries and her current work with mental health and music but we just never managed to find a date that worked...until now. We spoke over zoom about music, mental health, the benefits of coaching, setting up businesses that are both successful and not so and lots more in between.

The final episode for 2019 is here and it’s a great chat with Promotion, Publicity and Tour Marketing manager at Redbull Records Joe Kettle. Joe is another friend from Uni (I promise there are only a couple more of these) who has done some amazing things in his journey through the music business. In this episode we discuss artist management, Redbull records themselves and how they operate in the business as well as how best to navigate the interesting world of promotions and publicity in the modern music business. Really appreciate Joe fitting me in so close to Christmas and I’ll get told off if I don’t also mention that his band (the Noughty Boys - featuring two other podcast guests Danny Roberts (https://audioboom.com/posts/7020286-danny-roberts-a-r-manager-decca-records) and Andy Bibey (https://audioboom.com/posts/7227143-andy-bibey-manager-freelance-consultant) ) are playing at the Dogstar in Brixton on January 31st.
