How to get a break and survive in the Music industry

Over the past two months Pedestrian has traveled our great southern land with Microsoft to present a series of live Future Sessions inspired by Windows 8. As we sought to ‘edu-tain’ you with the launch of Pedestrian Coach, what better way to do it than hit Australia’s Universities with panel discussions and interactive Q&As to squeeze knowledge from our country’s best and brightest business folk Each of the eight Future Sessions took place within Microsoft Tech Lounges at Uni campuses nationwide, inviting students and every keen Tom, Dick and Harriet to join the free and intimate events for some serious brain growth. Now, we bring the full sessions to those of you who missed out.
“Music is my life” say lots of boys and girls everywhere. All well and good, but what happens when you want music to be your professional life, complete with monetary remuneration (getting paid, ca$h flow). We were treated to a panel discussion at Sydney University featuring some people who’ve found their place in the industry and sustained a nice bit of traction:
Claire Collins, Bossy Music (Management and PR)
Jai Al-Attas, One Meaning Communicated Differently (Music marketing)
Mark Holland, EMI (A&R)
Andy Kelly, Ivy League Records / Winterman & Goldstein (Management)

Stay tuned to Pedestrian.TV for all eight Future Sessions inspired by Windows 8 over the next couple of weeks.
