    Here we are. Episode 80 of this little podcast that I launched back in 2018. Since then I have spoken to music business execs from the world of record labels, publishing, artist management, sync, artists themselves and also live music which is where my very special guest number 80 comes from. Russ Tannen is the president of Dice. At their core Dice is a ticketing business but as you will hear from our conversation they have become so much more than that and are continuing to grow and develop in really interesting ways. Russ is based in NYC and we met up over a video call and talked about his journey from a 15 year old Hardcore kid from the Isle of White putting on shows in his local pub that he couldnt even attend because he was too young to being the president of a multinational live music business with the better part of 1000 employees worldwide. I had a lot of fun talking to Russ and hearing how much we had in common growing up when it comes to music. Please forgive the alarm that you might be able to hear in the background. There was a test going on at the Dice building whilst we spoke. https://dice.fm/ https://www.instagram.com/dicefm/ https://twitter.com/dicefm https://www.linkedin.com/company/dice-fm/ Get in touch with me via behindthebusinesspod@gmail.co https://www.dcmusicpublishing.co.u https://www.instagram.com/dcmusicpublishing https://twitter.com/dannychampion

    Very excited about getting ever closer to episode 80 of the podcast which is mad when I think about it. Episode 79 is with Emily Ardagh-Walter of This is Music. Emily recently moved into the world of artist management after leaving her breakthrough role as part of the finance team at Universal Records. I had the pleasure of teaching Emily in my first year of university lecturing at the University of South Wales in Cardiff and it would an absolute treat to catch up with her to hear about her journey since graduating in 2019. We spoke about Music business courses at uni, about internships and how to make the most out of them and how she made the decision to move on from that first role at a major to what she is doing now. This episode is definitely a good one for those of you out there interesting in making your first steps into the music business either before or after a degree. https://www.thisismusicltd.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thisismusicltd/ https://twitter.com/ThisIsMusicLtd https://www.facebook.com/thisismusicltd https://soundcloud.com/this-is-music https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-ardagh-walter/ Get in touch with me via: behindthebusinesspod@gmail.com https://www.dcmusicpublishing.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/dcmusicpublishing https://twitter.com/dannychampion

    Big thanks to Liam for jumping on a Zoom call with me to talk about all things live music (pre and post Pandemic). I reached out to Liam as he and his agency ‘Echelon Talent' currently look after the live side of things for a couple of acts I work with as DC Music Publishing. The Hyena Kill and Blanket. Liams agency look after a whole host of acts based in the UK and beyond who I am a big fan of so it was great to speak to him about how he has built his business, especially during such a difficult time for the live music industry. Echelon was launching only 6 months before the global pandemic shut the live entertainment business down so it was really interesting to hear what that whole period was like. We also talked about how Liam and his business work with his clients and how he likes to start working with acts early in their careers. It was a great conversation, we shared a lot of similar views and I am sure that we could have carried on talking for ages if given the chance. https://echelontalent.agency/ https://www.instagram.com/echelontalentagency/ https://www.facebook.com/echelontalentagency/ https://www.instagram.com/liamechelon/ https://www.twitch.tv/liamechelon Get in touch with me via: https://www.dcmusicpublishing.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/dcmusicpublishing https://twitter.com/dannychampion

I reached out to Livia via Linkedin as she is another guest of the pod that I am yet to meet in person. I was very pleased that she was able to jump on a Zpom call with me at short notice to have this conversation. We spoke about her relationship with music having grown up in Brazil and how she got into the business over here when she came over to Europe. Liv also gave me a really interesting look into what A&G as a business are doing at the moment, especially with the relatively recent addition of Power-Haus on the master recording side of the business.

    This is one of my all time favourite conversations. This episode, I chatted to the wonderful Jack Williamson about his journey through the music business and his current relationship with the industry as a coach, psychotherapist and mental health activist. During the chat we realised that our paths had crossed back in the day. Whilst I was the head of sync at peermusic in the UK Jack was co-manager of Gabrielle Aplin. We were keen to sign Gabrielle and Jack and I definitely spoke about all things creative at least once in one of our past lives. This conversation though was really uplifting and inspiring to me to hear Jacks outlook on life, how he motivates himself to move forward, how he carved out his own path through the industry and how he is currently ticking items of his ‘fuck it' list.

    This conversation was an extra special one for me as I have grown up listening to many of the bands that Julie has been responsible for putting out into the world. For those out there who love their UK Heavy Metal from the late 90s/early 00s you will know of her work via Visible Noise, the indie label she started who discovered bands like Bring me the Horizon and Bullet for My Valentine (and deeper cuts who I love like Number One Son and Kilkus). Now she is the label head of Sony Music's rock and metal label Music For Nations. We spoke about how she started in music, coming from the North of England and making her way in the music business, setting up Visible Noise and the work she is doing with Music for Nations and how things differ now that she is working with a Major (spoiler alert, it's great). She's currently working with some of my favourite acts out there that you should check out. From Global giants Tool (my all time number 1 band) through to newer/lesser known UK acts like Blanket and Witch Fever (who we discuss at length in the episode, they are awesome).

    After an unexpected week off for health reasons I’m back with E13 of series 2 of my little podcast. This chat is with festival founder and concert promoter James Scarlett. This conversation was originally going to come out back in August on the back of a great live version of the chat about all things live music and putting on music festivals that we had at this years 2000 trees festival but for many reasons I was unable to put that episode out so have done this wonderful do over conversation. James is a great person to talk to about live music and has a very interesting perspective on working in the business as someone who got into it that little bit later than most. We also have almost the exact same taste in music which is always nice when you find yourself in a music chat. Hope you enjoy it. 2000 Trees Twitter (https://twitter.com/2000trees) Arc’Tan’Gent Twitter (https://twitter.com/ATGFestival) Email the podcast at behindthebusinesspod@gmail.com  (mailto:behindthebusinesspod@gmail.com ) Follow the show on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/behindthebusinesspod/) as well.

    Episode 12 of series 2 is an extra special episode as I managed to pin Manners McDade MD Harriet Moss down for a chat about music publishing and becoming a Managing Director of a company at 27. As discussed in the chat I first met Harriet a number of years back when she first joined Manners McDade looking after the sync side of the business and she has been killing it ever since. This is a brilliant chat and Harriet has loads of amazing insights to give about songwriting and music publishing as well as being a woman in the industry. Enjoy!

    Episode 10 of the Podcast. Talking to Songwriter and performer Dot Allison about her career in music. This was a really interesting chat as Dot is another contributor to the pod who I had not met before we got to talk. It was over skype and I have to admit, I had technical issues my end but we managed it and it was an awesome chat about songwriting. Dot has some great insights about writing as an artist and also writing for and with other artists and about some of the things that all emerging and emerged songwriters should keep in mind when forging a path through the industry.
