    #29: Miro Oballa - Music & Entertainment Lawyer

    I’ve always wanted to get an entertainment lawyer on the show, especially one that dealt heavily on the music side, so when I was introduced to Miro at the beginning of the summer, being already familiar with him, his practice and his very impressive client list, I had to jump on the opportunity. And he very kindly obliged. We skyped in shortly after. There’s a lot of information in this so you may even want to listen to it a couple of times. There’s information for artists as well as people working on the business side; also, for those looking to get into the industry but still deciding on what area to pursue. As we go through our conversation, he really builds us a picture of how all of his experiences in the past have accumulated to help him get to where he is now. We get his thoughts on Vancouver’s music scene vs. Toronto’s, and what his vision is to grow it bigger in Vancouver, which is where he currently practices out of. We then get into an overview of what his job actually entails and you’ll see it starts to become clear that, in this age where artists are becoming more independent and relying more heavily on their core team (with a label being almost more of a service provider), a lawyer is an integral and essential part of building their career, being able to offer experienced insights from all angles. He discusses brand partnerships and how they work, as well as some of the more common disputes that he deals with that artists should be aware of. Of course, we talk about what he feels it takes to be a great entertainment lawyer and what he loves about his career. So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, Miro Oballa.

  4. Special Announcement & Upcoming Surprise

    Special Announcement & Upcoming Surprise

    Hey everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve made the decision to cool down on the podcast as things start to ramp up for myself going into the summer months. I’ve got a lot that will be taking up my time, so The One Sheet is taking a vacation for a while! I’ll still post here and there though. I have a surprise for any listeners that are going to be in Toronto on Apr 20th so keep an eye out for more details on that soon enough. Otherwise, since we don’t have an episode today, I encourage you to sift through old episodes and listen to one you haven’t heard yet or maybe freshen up with one you have (I learn some new every time I re-listen to an episode). Alright thanks for tuning in. I’ll be back before you know it! - Derv

    BONUSode: My Guest Spot on the Radio Somewhere Podcast with Gina K

    On this BONUS episode, I take the guest spot on another music industry podcast, called Radio Somewhere, with Gina k! Naturally, we discuss podcasting, but we also talk about how we’re both voice actors, about her band and a bit about her background as to how she got to where she is currently, along with our thoughts on both the Toronto music scene and women in music. You’ll get some behind-the-scenes on The One Sheet podcast as well and about me, the host, Derv! I had a lot of fun with this episode, and I’m a subscriber of her podcast so if you like what you hear, you can check out other episodes of the Radio Somewhere podcast at: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/radio-somewhere/id1188093321?mt=2

  6. #28: Paul Kaye - National Format Dir. & Head Talent Coach at Rogers

    #28: Paul Kaye - National Format Dir. & Head Talent Coach at Rogers

    iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=1052597557 Google Play: http://bit.ly/2lXDoRk This episode we sit down with the National Format Director, CHR and National Talent Coach for Rogers Communications across Canada. If you're familiar with media in Canada, you can imagine the extent of what this role involves. He also writes a blog in allaccess.com, called The Performance Playbook (http://www.allaccess.com/the-performance-playbook). These articles are straight to the point, an easy read and a can apply to improving your performance, for the most part, to any job or area of life you’re tackling. We start out hearing about his background. He wasn’t always sure of his career path, but knew that he was good at 3 things: business, creative, and one other. With that awareness and a chance opportunity in radio, something that started as intrigue, grew into his passion. At the age of 16 he got an on-air job at a radio station and it built from there. We then fast forward to today, where we hear about what coaching means to him, how he approaches being an effective coach, some components needed to have a successful coaching session, whether you’re the coach or the coachee, as well as some of the difficulties of the job. In a world where we the word “coaching” can be overused and misrepresented so easily, this is a refreshing conversation that brings us back to the foundation of what it really means. From the radio formatting side, we discuss the concept of big brands, why it works so well in U.K. and how the concept is being brought to Canada; as well as what he thinks is essential for radio to stay strong into the future. You’ll hear throughout this whole conversation that Paul is very self-aware. He really knows what it takes to be that open space for others to develop and grow. I’m going to ask that you listen to his experiences and how he approaches situations and think how you can take this same approach to something in your own life. Whether you’re a musician, a student, an industry professional or just someone who’s stuck listening to this because their friend told them to check out the podcast, there’s something that everyone can take away from this episode.
