I love when Spiritual leaders choose not to be discreet about other people's achievements when things of life are been discussed. It’s acceptable, in my opinion, for Christian singers to be signed by record labels; Tems’ victory in the Christian/Inspirational categories at the BETAwards shouldn’t make any Christian artists feel terrible. KIrk Franklin is under RCA Inspiration which the Parent company is Sony Music, Franklin has received 20 Grammy Awards, and 22 GMA Dove Awards. He has also received the BET Awards, he has won Soul Train Music Awards and Stellar Awards. All of these things wouldn’t have happened if his only priorities had been church invitations, self-management, or starting his own label independently of Major Label. Tems who recently won the #betawards is also under Same RCA Records which the parent company is Sony Music. This clearly indicates that having millions of fans or having excellent music are not as important as gaining international reputation, which can only occur under excellent global management. Here are some tips I have for Christian musicians: 1. Don’t see of record labels as something worldly; some producers who work on Christian Melody also compose music for mainstream artists. 2. Don’t just kick back and evaluate how you’re doing with church invites. Build a community of fans that will aid in the promotion of your music. 3. Keep in mind that everyone is in this world, and you should be aware that you must stay until the very end. It’s okay to be a member of the winning team; do not view awards as things that are not appreciated by Angels. 4. Appreciate music from different genres; not all genres are associated with devilry, and don’t view mainstream musicians as sinners.

48% of the U.S. population doesn't feel welcome in the classical music world. This will never change, unless we can get our loyal audiences to understand that it is their responsibility to help Outsiders feel welcome. But also—too many of our rituals stem from 19th century exclusionary ideals that make Outsiders feel marginalized and less than. It’s time to trade the implicit expectations for explicit guidelines. What would that look like when it comes to the implicit expectations around applause? What if we reserved one section in the concert hall for those who feel moved to respond to music in real time—and another for those who prefer to wait til the end? #artsmarketing #audiencedevelopment #artsadministration

The story revolves around the renowned violinist Joshua Bell and his unique social experiment in a Washington, D.C. subway station in 2007. In this experiment, Joshua Bell, one of the world's most celebrated violinists, played a Stradivarius violin worth around $3.5 million. For 45 minutes, he performed famous classical pieces in an unexpected and unconventional setting, aiming to gauge how much passersby would appreciate his talent and music. The story unveils how people value talents in different contexts. During that period, 1,097 people walked past him, and only a handful stopped to listen, with Bell collecting a mere $32 in tips. In the same week, Bell had performed at the Boston Symphony Hall, where ticket prices soared to hundreds of dollars each. The concert drew a large crowd of classical music enthusiasts and received extensive media coverage. The audience in the hall listened intently, showering him with enthusiastic applause and immense appreciation for his outstanding performance. This stark contrast between the reception in the subway and the symphony hall highlights a crucial idea: context and setting significantly influence how people value art. In the subway, people were engrossed in their daily routines, lacking the time or inclination to stop and listen, whereas in the symphony hall, they were ready and eager to enjoy the music. This social experiment demonstrates how people's responses to the same talent can vary based on the environment in which it is presented. It also underscores the notion that art and talents need the right context to be fully appreciated. The story sheds light on the impact of place and context on people's appreciation of talents, illustrating that individuals may not always recognize beauty and art in unexpected or non-traditional settings. In essence, the story imparts a valuable lesson about the importance of showcasing talent in the right place and in front of an appreciative audience. #Effective environment #Appreciation #Lessonlearned

The Elephant in the Room...The Truth Hurts. "Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell" - Seven Nation Army, The White Stripes Let's face it, music industry folks get it wrong often. But mistakes and getting it wrong are key and crucial to learning and getting it right. We all have stories. When I was at V2 back in the day, went with Jeremy Pearce etc to see The White Stripes for the first time as we were looking to sign them in a big deal. They had just independently released their "White Blood Cells" album. I liked them but wasn't 100% convinced especially with the weight of the deal. Thankfully the rest of the crew saw the potential, V2 signed them, and the album they delivered, the mighty "Elephant" (featuring "Seven Nation Army") ended up being one of our label's biggest successes and The White Stripes ended up being one of my favourite groups ever. The Lesson? Surround yourself with the greatest team of really talented authentic smart music people you can find, so if you slip up and make a mistake, the others won't, and you'll all win. The big question is, what will the UK Music industry choose to learn from Raye? “Raye’s six Brit awards marked a huge vindication for the newly independent artist and rightly shamed the major label that apparently couldn’t see her potential”. #music #musicbusiness #ukmusic #truth #womenentrepreneurs #womeninmusic #musicindustry #lessonslearned
