So many composers dream of being able to quit their day job to pursue music. Maybe you do too? The problem is : taking that leap of faith is a big deal. You need to have a huge amount of faith in yourself, as well as a mechanism to support yourself as you work towards your dream. Well, today's guest, Rob Hicks, took that leap of faith just a couple of years ago, and is already ahead of the target that he set himself before he did. And, most importantly, he's loving living the creative life, and treating it with such enthusiasm and professionalism. Before pursuing music full time, Rob Hicks had a successful career in IT – not just as an employee, but as the owner of a thriving internet services business. So he had a lot to lose if it didn't pan out. Thankfully, his hard work as a business owner not only equipped him with some really important business and interpersonal skills to prepare him for the world of music, but it also gave him a financial buffer when he first decided to quit his job to pursue music. I know that you're going to get so much out of this episode – personally I found Rob so inspiring to listen to – and I hope that you can action some of the tips he gives in order to get yourself one step closer to being a full time composer. Here's what we cover : [03:55] How Rob first learned music & the early technology that allowed him to make music [10:04] How technology impacts the creative process [12:40] What Rob did before pursuing music full time [17:30] Balancing work and music while running a full time business [18:30] Business skills that can help your career in music [21:45] Quantity vs quality (or creativity) with production music [24:52] How royalties / residuals work and can payoff in the long term [28:02] Should you have a backup plan or a time limit? [32:50] How Taxi can give your days structure as a composer [35:56] What to do with ‘rejected' tracks [40:28] Should you transition gradually into pursuing music full time, or dive right in? [42:23] Rob gives advice on learning where your weaknesses lie and how to improve them [49:21] Rob's composing process – starting with the vacuum cleaner… [55:12] Recommended equipment that Rob uses [1:04:01] A final piece of advice from Rob Rob's Links: Website : www.rhicksmusic.com Email : rob.hicks@rhicksmusic.com SoundCloud : https://soundcloud.com/rob-hicks Twitter : https://twitter.com/RHicksMusic Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/rhicksmusic/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/RobertHicksMediaComposer/

1988 through to 1990 was an interesting time in Melbourne Radio with many 3AW personalities and 3AK personalities crossing from one station to another. 3AK's bold CBC experiment had failed, as had 3AW's Thinking Person's Radio. In 1990 Denis O'Kane had taken over the reins of 3AW and initiated the rebuild, in part by taking Ross Stevenson, Dennis Donoghue, Keith McGowan and Margaret Fletcher from 3AK.  3AK in turn finally was sold off and in mid 1990 all remaining staff were all given their marching orders.  This is the first 11 minutes of the last Rob Hicks and Don Chipp program.

It's referee week at Rugby AM and, after Rob Hicks joined Alex Simmons and JJB in the studio for this week's Rugby AM show, fellow top referee Ben Thaler joined Jy Hitchcox and Paul Wood for what Woody dubbed "the most exciting podcast we've been involved in." Check it out now as Ben discusses all things refereeing in rugby league and tells us of when a drunken Woody called him and the referees out in Barcelona airport.

When we told you that Rob Hicks was coming into the studio for this week's show, you didn't disappoint with the amount of questions you sent in so, as a result, we felt it was only fair that we asked most of them to the man himself so, on this Rugby AM Pods Special, listen to his answers to the questions from the most important people - you, the fans!

On this episode we talk with Fernandina native Rob Hicks about his new book highlighting famous locals from the past and present day. Also in this episode, we moved from the Book Loft to Pajama Dave’s new wine and beer garden, PJD’s to enjoy craft beers, island breezes, and the company of locals.

This week we hear a report from Brent on BryceCon 2015, gaming convention with family, and food. We briefly discuss Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Timeline, Dead Man's Draw, Coconuts and Roll for the Galaxy. After this report Brent talks with Rob Hicks of Midnight Campaign. Then he interviews Gail and Gary Tanner, founders of BryceCon.

Mickey Chaney Jr., also known as Spooky Kid, got his start in the comic industry during October 2011 when Marco Regalado of Pop Culture Paradise found him sketching while out in Tempe one day. In the three years that he's been working in comics Mickey has worked on a number of books including; "No Man's Land", the "Dead Diva's" series, "Hooded Cobra", and "Dark Light". While he's been involved in multiple titles he is best known for his portrait works. Apart from highschool art courses Mickey does not have any formal art education. Currently Mickey is working with fellow local artists Rob Hicks, Derrick Tipton and Ruben Rosas in Spiral Ink Comics, which produces the books "Hooded Cobra" and "Dark Light".  Mickey Chaney CGC Best of the Best Zombie Sketch If you have been scrolling online through Facebook fan pages or maybe heard the news at a local comic shop, then you may have heard Mickey Chaney has been crowned the Zombie King by the people of CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) in their Best of the Best Zombie sketch contest. You might be asking yourself after hearing this news what is the CGC Best of the Best Sketch competition and what does a win mean for the artist and owner of the comic? We will be talking to Michael Fett, the man behind the win, since he nominated the Spooky Kid for the award. 

Come and meet some of the terrific variety of vendors LepreCon 2014 in the dealers' room the weekend of May 8-11th. First we will be talking to The Transporter Room from 5:30-6pm The Transporter Room is a Geek Hub in a Pub, a place for gamers, techies and pop culture lovers to get together, play games, work on tech and geek projects, and enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, anime and tech/science shows on our screens, all in a pub designed just for them. My partner Jason and I wanted a place to enjoy all of these things while tipping back some brews and having meals and snacks on site. Our website is transporterroomaz.com, our facebook is transporterroomaz and our twitter is @troomaz Spiral Ink Comics from 6-6:30 Spiral Ink Comics was founded in 2013 by independent comic artists Rob Hicks, Derrick Tipton, and Mickey Chaney.  The three artists met in 2012 while attending the infamous weekly "doodle night" event held at Jesse James Comics in Glendale, AZ.  During the production of Rob's debut comic title, Hooded Cobra: The Den of Serpents, Mickey offered up his inking skills for the book and later Derrick offered his coloring expertise for the book's cover.  Shortly thereafter, writer JJ Shelton approached the group about a co-writing opportunity for the rest of the series and the rest, as they say, is history!  Derrick and Rob also recruited cover artist Ruben Rosas to add yet another variety of style to the company.   S.I.C. plans to redefine what it means to be an indie comics publisher with their powerhouse combo of 100% original comic art and a strong focus on quality over quantity! http://www.spiralinkcomics.com facebook.com/spiralinkcomics

Classic FM's resident GP, Rob Hicks, opens this edition of the podcast. Yes, the days are getting shorter and it's turning decidedly autumnal, so any day now, we can expect to be hear commercials for flu jabs. But Dr. Rob tells us researchers in the US have conducted a study which casts doubt on the benefits of immunising older people against the disease. After that, we turn our attention to books with Chris Powling, who's been furiously reading paperbacks in order to choose three unmissable ones for us to enjoy. Then, it's violins all the way: Madeleine Mitchell tells us about the Red Violin festival, which is an annual fixture in South Wales, while the young Scottish soloist, Nicola Benedetti, discusses her new recording of The Lark Ascending, by Vaughan Williams.

Classic FM’s resident GP, Rob Hicks, takes a look at the latest thinking on the link between excessive sunbathing and skin cancer.

We also ask the FT’s Economics Correspondent why all bar one of the so-called experts in the City failed to predict the latest rise in interest rates. Add to that a bunch of paperbacks, as recommended by our resident bookworm, Chris Powling, and a chat with the distinguished accompanist, Julius Drake, and you have an online listen not to be missed.

We've lined up something extra special for the first podcast of 2007. For starters, there's a chance to win a copy of pianist Stephen Hough's critically acclaimed CD, “The Spanish Album”.

If you have a book token burning a hole in your pocket, you'll need some advice on what to buy with it, and who better to ask than Classic FM's resident literary aficionado, Chris Powling? And if opera is your thing, you might like to invest in a copy of Caroline Leach's pictorial history of Welsh National Opera: Caroline will be telling us about the first sixty years of this now internationally acclaimed company. And finally, as those irritating TV news-reading types are wont to say, Classic FM's resident composer, Patrick Hawes, tells us about his latest piece: Stargazer. All of which, in my opinion, adds up to a great listen; but as always, you must be the judge of that. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. We have our regular contributors lined up and ready to share their wisdom, in the case of the Classic FM doctor, Rob Hicks, and enthusiasm, as personified by our resident bookworm, Chris Powling – sorry Chris, you're wise too, of course! We also talk recorded music with one of the founding editors of the Penguin Guide to CDs and DVDs, Ivan March. And perhaps most remarkably, Classic FM's Nick Bailey is given a tutorial in downloading music by his colleague in news, Paul Osbourne. Can't wait to hear that? Well there's no need. Let's listen together…

Welcome to the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. This week, as well as hearing from our regular contributors – Classic FM's resident bookworm, Chris Powling, and Dr Rob Hicks – we'll also feature the artist who, for my money at least, is the greatest guitarist England has ever produced. Before he retired from live performance at the age of seventy, Julian Bream enjoyed a career spanning fifty-five years on the concert platform. On the news front, it's been a particularly good week for NASA, with news that they may have discovered evidence of water on the surface of Mars, as well as the revelation that they're planning to return to the moon and build a permanent base there. So let's boldly click where – and etcetera etcetera (I know, we just can't get the staff though!)

Welcome to the new bumper edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast – our biggest and best yet. Firstly, we meet the celebrated oboist, Nicholas Daniel, who tells us about a new piece written especially for him by John Tavener. We continue the Tavener connection thereafter, when we meet the composer's vocal muse, Patricia Rosario, who tells us about her involvement with this year's Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. Classic FM's resident bookworm, Chris Powling, is here to recommend three books for our delectation. Then we meet the hottest opera diva of the moment, the Russian soprano, Anna Netrebko, before being joined by Dr. Rob Hicks, who has some advice about the essential questions we should all ask about any pills and potions we're taking. After Rob, we check our financial health in the light of the latest rise in interest rates with equity strategist, Henk Potts – unfortunately, he thinks we probably need to get used to the unpalatable fiscal medicine. And finally, we meet All Angels, the new teenage classical girlie group whose heavenly voices will be wafting across the Classic FM airwaves in the run up to Christmas. I hope you enjoy listening.

Welcome to another edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. This week, we find out why the Philharmonia Orchestra is casting its net across the globe in an initiative called “Groove Search”. Find out how you could win the opportunity to hear a ditty you've written recorded by one of this country's top bands! We also feature our resident bookworm, Chris Powling, who's chosen three excellent books for us to enjoy, now the nights are drawing in. Then we consult the Classic FM doctor, Rob Hicks. This week, Rob is focusing on arthritis; a disease that affects millions of people in this country alone. And finally, we meet Alan Riding, who's co-written the Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Companion to Opera. I hope you enjoy listening.

Welcome to the coming of age edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast – yes, we're twenty-one this week! We send our roving reporter, Bob Jones, to Newcastle to check out the latest production by Streetwise Opera – the company that gives homeless people the chance to stage a production at a professional level. We have our regular consultation with Classic FM's resident GP, Rob Hicks; and the early music soprano, Emma Kirkby, drops in for a chat. Three very good reasons why you should listen on….

Welcome to the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. And here's an early warning for you: the clocks go back next weekend, which is bad news if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. So we've asked Classic FM's resident GP, Rob Hicks, to explain the condition, and give us some tips on how to deal with it. Darkness is also the theme of John Rutter's latest CD with the Cambridge Singers: “Lighten our Darkness”. John tells me the repertoire is so relaxing that many people fall asleep as they listen – so don't play it while driving! We also have a brief chat with Classic FM's composer in residence, Patrick Hawes, about his latest piece, “Ave Maria”, and Classic Newsnight's roving reporter, Bob Jones, gives us a flavour of English National Ballet's production of “Alice in Wonderland”.

In this edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast we meet Mark Bebbington; Mark is the first pianist to record a full recital disc at Symphony Hall in Birmingham – one of Europe's top venues. The novelist, Frederick Forsyth, joins me to talk about his latest page-turning best-seller, “The Afghan”. The Classic FM doctor, Rob Hicks, has found yet another reason why it makes sense not to put on weight. And speaking of putting on weight, it may be only October, but Christmas is coming! So we've been finding out about the toys that are expected to be flying off the shelves in the run up to the festive season.

There's a distinctly operatic feel about this latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. Not only will we be hearing from Jane McCullough, who's directing Lehár's The Merry Widow for Opera UK, but also from Donald Nally, Chorus Master at Welsh National Opera. And if opera goes over your head, don't worry; we'll also be meeting a lady called Pam Westwood, who's just produced a remarkable new keyboard tutor: “It's never too late to play piano”. And Pam insists we can take the title at face value – so no excuses! Classic FM's resident doctor, Rob Hicks, is also here, talking about that scourge of the winter months, the common cold.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. With politics very much in the spotlight at the moment, we have included an interview with the Conservative leader, David Cameron. But if politics isn't your cup of tea, there's plenty more to tempt you; including our resident GP, Rob Hicks, on acupuncture and a chat with one of the world's top piano duos, the Pekinel Sisters.

We're very health-oriented in this latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. Mark Forrest will be extolling the putative benefits of belonging to a running club, ahead of the BUPA Great North Run in November.
