Little BIGSOUND

Overview

Wanna make it in the music industry? Apparently there are quite a few of you who do. And unfortunately (unless I’m being kept in the dark), there isn’t a musical fairy godmother who sweeps in periodically and grants everyone access to radio time, crazy-good sales and the ability to sell out Madison Square Garden.

However for lucky Brisbane-ites who are musically inclined, this weekend they will have the rare chance to throw some hard-hitting questions at those in the know. As part of the 2011 BIGSOUND Music conference and festival, QMusic and Youth Music Industries have done their best to gather a wide array of professionals who’ve done the hard yards in making it, and are keen to pass on their advice.

Little BIGSOUND includes, but is not limited to, the likes of Shin Fukuzumi (A&R at P-Vine Records, Japan), Paul Hanley (Frenchkiss Records, USA), James Wright (The Fans Group), Karl Broadie (APRA), Crystle Fleper (Faster Louder / JWCOCA), Paul Watson (Heapsaflash) and Maggie Collins (Golden District) sitting down with the express purpose of helping you younguns’ get into the music industry.

And if that’s not enough, after your head has been filled with advice, the day will end with a mix of artists performing. Help and entertainment in one!
