Welcome…
A new music business education initiative has been launched by experienced veterans of the SA music scene.
Entitled Start Smart, the workshops were written and developed by David Chislett and Bill Botes. The first covers the solid business basics of copyright, royalties, SAMRO membership and the like. The second workshop is designed to help artists plan and build for a definite future vision. The third is on the digital age and new tools available to bands to take themselves further while protecting their intellectual property.
The workshops are being launched ahead of the publication of Chislett’s beginners guide to the Music industry, ‘1,2,1,2: A Step By Step Guide To The SA Music Industry’ and they collate many years of experience with promoting, managing and publicising artists. The workshops will be presented by Botes, Chislett and Sibusiso Molefe (better known as the owner of Publicity Stunt and the erstwhile manager of Skwatta Kamp & Amu).
This round of workshops is being offered to individual artists in a one on one scenario, as well as group sessions for bands and will also include larger, public session for bigger groups on demand.
Artists can book their workshops by emailing info@startsmart.co.za or calling 083 245 6412 during office hours.
Availability and full pricing available on request.
