Background Noises with Nadia Sheikh Nadia Sheikh

- Musik
Background Noises is a series of conversations with the unheard voices of the music industry. I started this podcast to raise awareness about the situation the music industry, and specially the live music sector is living in 2020. To hear the stories and the issues that the people who live for it are going through.
The podcast idea was born as an English podcast, but with the aim of reaching the most people and raising as much awareness as possible, I’ve decided to do a Spanish version too.
