Workshop Beyond The Buzz - Sustainable Choices For Your Band Career at Metal Business Club Roadburn Breakfast Great Succes!

It was such a special experience to lead this session during Roadburn Breakfast, alongside an inspiring group of music industry experts from the Metal Business Club.

As a record label and career advisor, I believe it’s just as important to focus on mental and physical health—and finding balance in your personal life—as it is to focus on career and success.

A huge shout-out to the amazing musicians—both national and international—who showed up early in the morning to listen, ask questions, and reflect on their own journey. Your openness and dedication meant a lot to me.
