Episode 52 – How To Break Into The Biz Live Panel at the Music Maker’s Bootcamp

In this podcast episode, we sit down with a panel of four industry professionals, in front of a live Full Circle Academy Bootcamp audience. These panelists have 90 years of music industry experience between them. They include Grammy-winning producer Tom Laune, Grammy-winning guitarist Mike Pane, music publishing expert Chad Segura, and manager Zach Kelm. Each panelist fills us in on how they got into the music industry, the moment they knew they got their break, and then take on questions from members of the audience. They fill us in on why independent artists may actually be better off playing in local spots than buying onto tours, and how radio could benefit them. They talk about the right time to hire a manager, and what role a manager should play. They also comment on the issue of feeling insecure when promoting oneself, what they wish they would have known before entering the industry, and some past experiences that future interns can learn from. This podcast is filled with advice for people already in, or looking to get into the music industry.
