| What I’m gonna write- and you’ll have to read | |
I plan on using this blog as a platform to talk about what it’s like to take the plunge and start a label, manage a band or any business related to music for that matter like my rehearsal spaces. I hope to start a page of links and other resources that have helped me and might be of use to anyone else considering a similar path. I’ll also be profiling other people/sites that might provide some insight for anyone interested in this career path.
Some of the categories I’ll be using will further explain what I will be covering here:
Business: Will cover points noted above, things I’ve learned trying myself, good resources else where and anything else that might be related to running a label/management company or even a band.
You’ll also see industry news and happenings covered here.
CDs/MP3s/Live Reviews: Here I’ll be reviewing/directing people to bands in one form or another
Digital: Anything internet/Mp3 related - could cover reviews, industry news, marketing opportunities whatever. It’ll be worked out in time.
Old News: Anything of significance in the recent past pre-this blog that will add to any readers understanding of why I’m doing any of this. Easy means of building up the content as well.
Marketing: The internet and the DIY spirit each on their own have provided some ingenious means of marketing music, combine the two with the goal of sharing music and we have a changed industry. Other non-tech based marketing ideas will be covered as well.
Sounds Local: One benefit of the running a rehearsal space is the benefit it provides in exposing you to various genres of music. I’ve been turned on to genres I didn’t know existed in the past. I’ve also had a first hand opportunity to learn about the wealth of talent that calls Canada’s East Coast home and will be highlighting as many local acts as I can.
Labels: There’s plenty of labels out there that can serve as great models for anyone looking to start their own - profiles and tracks from their artists will be forth coming.
Again, I’m sure there’ll be more added, some dropped - it’ll be worked out.
The plan is also to have some other people join in on here soon and let them tackle whatever they like happening in music. In time we may also be looking for “Sounds Local” posts from various regions/cities.
Hopefully in time this blog will introduce you to some great new music, and if you’re involved from the business end, give you some insight and new ideas to use in your own pursuits.
