OMG Tour Life

Story time! The fifth episode of my new info-series all about the live music industry! In this video, I tell a quick little story about an experience that I had on tour a very long time ago, when I was a teenager. Sometimes you really don't know what someone might be doing on their phone while sitting right next to you.

The fourth episode of my new info-series all about the live music industry! In this video, I talk about “dating on tour” in all of the ways that the phrase can be interpretted. Starting with a disclaimer about misogyny in the music industry and how it affects women's relationships with the people they're on the road with, I then touch upon some of my personal experiences when it comes to meeting someone on tour and starting to date long-term, as well as dating someone who doesn't tour while I'm on the road full-time. I also answer a question about what advice I'd give to someone who's new to these situations. Thanks for listening to this short little episode!

The third episode of my new info-series all about the live music industry! In this video, I talk about the not-so-pretty side of touring. I talk about three instances where I was specifically bullied on the road— not just general cases of misogyny and rude comments from peers. My goal is to demonstrate this side of the live music industry that might not be as commonly spoken about.  00:00 Intro 03:59 First Instance 18:17 Second Instance 31:24 Gaslighting on Tour 34:00 Things Got Better 35:33 Third and Most Recent Instance 58:00 Cyberbullying 58:56 Why I took an instant hiatus Social Media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/omgmichelle Instagram: https://instagram.com/omgmichelle TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@omgmichelle 

The second ever episode of my new info-series all about the live music industry! In this episode, I talk about what I think merchandise managers on tour should value themselves at (in an ideal world). My goal is to get people thinking about how various artists and companies are able to pay their merchandise managers, tour managers, and tour photographers, and to gauge what kind of rate they should be pitching as they move up in the touring world. I also talk about tipping at merch and why anything less than 100% of tips going to merchandise managers is highly unacceptable. Hopefully we can all band together start getting compensated fairly!

The very first episode of my new info-series! In this podcast, I talk about how I got started working in the live music industry and discuss realistic and effective ways that anyone else can break into the touring industry.
