Creatives in Music 4: Making Friends with Brands

Quick message for early artists. If you are looking for creative route for growth outside of your current circle, find common values with other brands or identities and cross pollinate those audiences.

Just like when you make friends, teamwork and sponsors are the same - you find a common interest and share your love for it. Its all part of the journey!

Anything not authentic is obvious, so even if an audience looks big or tempting - approach at your own peril! Integrity over all IMO.

Drake's recent win regarding the use of Jimmy Smith's statement inside of his 'Pound Cake' instrumental is a great example of the difference between Master and Publishing rights.
if music was like a book.

The book itself (pages, font, ink etc) is what the Record Labels own and sell to make money. it's the product or the file it travels in.

The story within the book, is the composition. it's intangible, but it has a value. This is what the Publisher owns, and they ensure the writer gets paid for every use or reference of the story.

In this case, Drake got permission to make a book with some of their pages, but he did not get permission to use some of the story. 'Fair Use' ruled that the piece of Jimmy Smith's story that was used did not add, subtract or change the value of Drake's story, despite the pages being there, so no permission in this case was required.

TikTok and Social Platforms

Social platforms are a way to communicate - TikTok is just another method. Despite its size, TikTok still has big potential. As the users are the people that drive it's future, the next few years could bring hugely creative and exciting changes to trends and communication as we know it today.

Creativity, art and narrative is held within every medium - especially gaming. After attending an Immersive Gaming panel at @hclublondon including representatives from @ea , #tinyrebel , #esports , @g2esports , I noticed importance with IP & brand of the player within the game. Players are creating content & brand and using the game as a platform. Now is still a good time for unique gamers to make their digital identity their very own IP!

Thoughts of Billie Eilish Grammy success

Breaking down the foundation of an 18 year old's 5x Grammy success in 2020 and some idea behind the art that lead to the achievements.
