In this episode with my guest, Ollie Mansfield we look at musicianship from the business-making side. Being a freelance musician is a very different career path compared to taking up a full-time position in a professional orchestra. And to be honest, the majority of musicians who graduate from conservatoires and university music departments choose to earn their living by freelancing.
After graduation Ollie had hard times finding his way as a young professional. The hardship made him realize that it is each musicians’ responsibility to find new possibilities which meant that he had to be much more proactive than what he experienced in music college. Today as a mentor, Ollie encourages musicians to be brave to think out of the box and take uncommon routes by using different techniques to succeed. We recorded the interview during the COVID lockdown in which he shares some tips on how this works.
