Joining me on this episode is the amazing Christina Hizon, who goes by the name of Tina Keys. Tina is an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist who has played for the likes of Ed Sheeran, Clean Bandit, Roger Taylor, Becky Hill... but I think most notoriously Maisie Peters.

Right after this episode Tina jetted off to the US to tour with Maisie and will be on the road until SEPTEMBER so I am so glad I could catch her in time to record this. We had a brilliant chat about the live industry, how to create a click track, the 'secret' of how to get repeatedly booked for gigs with A List artists and how much harder it is since Brexit to tour outside of the UK.

If you enjoyed this episode, you can follow us on social media & listen to previous episodes in this series here. Huge thanks to Tina for coming on and thank you for listening!

This week's episode is with Steve Tandy who is the founder of Copmedia specialising in regional TV / Radio plugging.

I wanted to get a plugger on this podcast as it's definitely a side of the industry that seems to be more taboo.

I ask Steve all the questions I think my listeners would want to know, from how regional radio can be beneficial to an artists's career, how much a typical single campaign would cost, to who decides what songs make those magical radio playlists.

Introducing the absolute superstar who is... BEKA. Beka and I met at the 2021 'Drake Yolanda' Funding final and I was immediately drawn to her as a person, and then I heard her sing and I was well and truly obsessed.

BEKA has had such an impressive career, collaborating and touring with Honne to her first single (released in 2020) getting track of the week on BBC Radio 1. We talk how she got there, how she build her amazing team, and she shares a brilliant industry secret tip that I've been using ever since.
