Here's a blog post I wrote about career development in the music industry – including creating a body of work; developing a long-term career plan; assembling a network of peers, industry professionals, customers, and press & media contacts; identifying potential performance venues and promotional resources; and planning & managing live events – and about how learning and working within that process eventually led me to build the Gigpromoter app https://lnkd.in/eZ2yfGB5

Project Management | Real Estate Development | Entertainment | Events | Sync Licensing | Administration | Finance | OSHA Construction Safety | Leadership
In this economy (and life), I am learning to be more resourceful and innovative… I independently and collaboratively produced this 3D-animated short film and music video. Lately, I’ve been combining my project management and artistic skills to create timeless and scalable content. My mission involves building a brand “e10good” and community around supporting independent artists by leveraging technology and relationships. I am doing this by creating events and spaces that bridge the perceived gaps between independent creatives and aligned businesses. Why? The best way to inspire is to lead by example, stay consistent, and keep improving. I’m redefining what independent artistry means. It involves: treating your art as a business, only collaborating with those who clearly align with your vision, learning to outsource wisely, and being in control of your work. Enjoy the video!

"If you’re going to reach your audience, putting out songs and not having a video presence where you’re connecting with your fans is almost unthinkable. The medium through which fans connect with the individual behind the music—the soundtrack of their lives—those things have expanded, and artists will have to evolve as creators to meet those needs. They also need to evolve as entrepreneurs and businesspeople, because they have the responsibility to manage that brand—in part because of the way that the industry has evolved. The change in the economic structure at record labels means nobody else is picking up that ball. Now there are plenty of artists who have an entrepreneurial bent, but they don’t want to wake up every day and go sit in an office chair and spend a huge portion of their time on this. So that’s why the function of artist management is becoming more important than ever and expanding in terms of the requirements for what it takes to help service an artist." Some great tidbits in the article with Firebird Co-Founder and CEO, Nathan Hubbard. I highly encourage any artists pursuing a career, to read the full writeup. https://lnkd.in/gYA2xT6f

Got promoted to Senior Creative Producer @ Racket Club earlier this month! I'm so hyped up about all the growth for myself and this company. I don't have the time to laud the work as much as I'd like, so I'm gonna take this opportunity to talk my shit a little bit: - My creative voice and vision help influence and shape the work we're hired for. - My understanding of the process and ideas on how to get from A to B to Z and beyond keep us on track. - I've helped to build systems that keep us organized and allow us to manage large volumes of projects at once. - I've practiced a people-focus approach that keeps me mindful of what our client and agency partners are dealing with - bringing relief and sometimes even joy to stressful situations. - I've done all the above across the East, West and Gulf Coast - I've both helped to introduce new talent while still maintaining the respect of veteran writers of this corner of the industry. - Most importantly to me, I've had the chance to teach skills and offer opportunities to people of color and women in this space. I keep us pushing to continue doing more and more of this. I'm also tired and need breaks that I don't always ask for. I'm not on it 100% every time and can't always help everyone like I wish I could. I can get cynical and sometimes a little stubborn. Worst of all I don't call my folks back home enough. As proud as I am of the work we do, the team I'm doing it with and things I've accomplished, I'm also proud of myself for being honest about my struggles. I'm proud of understanding them enough to take strides to improve where I can. I'm proud of the grace I give myself when a struggle is out of my control and the patience I practice when it just needs time to pass. The seeds we've planted are growing and bearing fruit, but I'm just trying to make sure I I keep seeing the whole forest thriving through the trees. That said, check out the fruits of this labor. https://simian.me/lwt3l

Another portfolio pick this afternoon: our ongoing work with Bang & Olufsen. This is one of those lovely partnerships where you get to radically refresh the voice of a much-loved brand, and then apply it in various manifestations – not unlike our work on the rebrand of Formula 1. Indeed, like F1, B&O had found themselves stuck with a voice that focused on features, facts, and figures, while missing out almost entirely on the emotional heart of their world. In B&O’s case, that heart was the music. Which might seem obvious, but when your product is as technically advanced as theirs, it's remarkably easy to slip into a celebration of megahertz over magic. (Just as F1 had become obsessed with stats over storytelling.) Working alongside our friends at SNASK 🧠, we developed new voice guidelines that turned up the volume on emotion, and celebrated the experience of listening to music with B&O. Of course, the technical details are there too – but in their place as enablers of experience, not as the experience itself. We’re now applying B&O's new voice to a range of comms – recently around their partnership with Ferrari. It seems the worlds of soul-stirring music and heart-thumping driving are never that far apart...

Crafting the perfect soundtrack for seven Super Bowl ads in a single year is no easy feat. 🎵🏈 For Kelly Bayett and her team at Barking Owl Sound, such a monumental achievement is more than just a showcase of their talent. It's a testament to forging strong relationships and always keeping things interesting. In her conversation with Billboard, Kelly shared some of the keys to their success. Here are 4 lessons from their journey: 1️⃣ Never take your eyes off the big picture. Achieving lasting success means planning for the long term rather than taking the fast and easy route. 2️⃣ Cultivate deep relationships. Strong, trust-based relationships are key to getting your foot in the door. 3️⃣ Innovate relentlessly. Keeping your work fresh isn't just about staying relevant; it's about continually challenging yourself. 4️⃣ Empower through support. When a team feels genuinely supported, their creative potential knows no bounds. Barking Owl Sound's journey from a home-based startup to a powerhouse in music and sound design is a powerful reminder that the roots of success are often found in the values we uphold and the relationships we cherish. 🌟 👇 You can find the full interview here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/g6uFyxST #MusicIndustry #CreativeLeadership #SuperBowlAds #LongTermSuccess

CISAC's reports are always worth digging into, for both global trends as well as territory-specific developments. The big headline in this year's report is that digital has overtaken broadcast as the biggest source of revenue for authors societies. But the report includes the following pretty confusing analysis: "Despite this trend, digital music royalties to creators continue to substantially underperform in the wider context. Even at a record 37.7%, digital’s share of the total market is well below the corresponding share (71%) for the recording industry. GEMA’s report on streaming royalties in 2022, for example, confirmed that only 8% of the subscription income typically goes to music creators." Reasonable people can debate the topic sentence, but the following two sentences don't really support the point. In the first, CISAC seems to suggest that the ratio of digital revenue to the whole should be the same for authors (publishing and songwriter) as for the labels and artists (i.e. for the recordings). But the business models -- and, most importantly, the laws, are very different for songs and recordings. To name just one example, in the US -- the biggest market for music -- labels don't get paid anything at all for traditional broadcast -- which is the second biggest source of revenue for authors! Given that, why would you expect the digital share for authors to be anywhere close to the digital share for labels/recording artists? In the second sentence, the report asserts that GEMA found 8% of streaming revenue goes to "music creators." That paragraph conflates "authors" and "music creators" -- i.e., totally ignores the contributions of (and royalties paid to) other rights holders (e.g., the labels). Anyway: As I said, reasonable people can disagree about the details of streaming economics, including consumer models, royalty rates, flow of money and rights, licensing mechanisms, and so forth, but it is really important to be operating under the right set of facts when having that discussion.
The 2023 CISAC Global Collections Report is now available. Global collections for creators reach a new historical record of €12.1 billion in 2022, growing a record 26.7% to fully recover from the pandemic. #creativeindustries #copyright #intellectualproperty #creators #culture #culturalindustries
