A few words from our contributors…
EMC has delivered a toolkit for new or independent artists that gives you a broad scope of how to launch your career. You don’t need a deal with a major and a bank of cash if you have the right intentions and mindset. Artists should take what they can out of this, dive into the deep end and learn along the way.”
Angus Russell, Founder and director – Gallery Recordings
“Whether you are starting out or in the early stages of your production journey, there are some nuggets of gold that everyone can take from this toolkit”
Yikes – DJ, Producer, Radio Presenter, Artist, Designer, and Promoter
“I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned as an artist, curator, manager and label boss. Everyone’s journey is different, so you never know which experiences might resonate or help someone down the line.” Nina Las Vegas – Artist, Curator, Producer, and Label Owner.
