As the dance music industry grows and grows, Katie digs deep into the lives of DJs, producers, managers, tour managers, publicists, club owners, label managers, promoters... (basically all of the people who get asked for guestlist) to find out how they started out, challenges they’ve come across, achievements, opinions, goals and, of course, all of the exciting stories that they’ve made along the way... And there's definitely some good ones out there.
This week we are joined by the COO of Toolroom, Miles Shackleton, and Toolroom Academy Lead Tutor, Pete Griffiths, to discuss a recent report presented by Toolroom Academy in partnership with Audience Strategies called From Mix to Mainstage – The Blueprint for Emerging Electronic Artists, which aims to understand the barriers new artists face.
Having collaborated with hundreds of students who have completed their courses and mentorship programs through the academy, Toolroom possesses unique insights into the challenges faced by artists striving to build sustainable careers in electronic music.
The report directly addresses these challenges, enhancing the understanding of industry dynamics, identifying barriers for emerging artists, and providing valuable insights, guidance, and targeted strategies for their development.
