Industry - Career Plan

Personal Statement
Throughout my life, I have always enjoyed engaging in Physical Education and would like to pursue my career in the field of sports science. I have always had a keen interest and have felt intensely when it comes to the practical and theoretical work concerning Physical Education. I am very aware of the importance of exercise and the related issues of diet and fitness on the prevention of injury in the human body.

I am currently studying a UAL Music Production Level 3 course. This subject appealed to me due to my background within music growing up and it sparked an interest with the industrial side of music like being involved with Pr companies. Although I study Music production and studied Music technology in school, from around year 10 my curiosity with fitness and health grew, I started attending my local gym around 3-4 times a week and altered my diet to achieve the targets I was hoping for, I noticed that I enjoyed this life style.

The style of music I produce now varies from hip-hop, R&B and Jazz, whereas it used to only be hip-hop and the slightest bit of jazz. Whilst I produce music, I'm also very interested in setting up recording sessions to record artists and bands. Furthermore this is a skill I think I excel in and took a liking to when I first started studying music in year 10, as it gave me the tools I needed to record artists closer to me like friends and family making it cheaper for them to start their career.

Fan Base
My fan base is mainly young people ranging from 15-25, this is a rough estimate as this age group tends to have most of the similar interests. Also this does not limit only this age group to listening to my music as you'll find people of all ages listening to my music.

Live Performance
As I'm a producer/sound engineer, performing live is not something I aim for, however having one of my produced tracks performed live is a strong possibility. As some of my tracks have vocals on them and all of them have instruments which can be played live. It would be fairly simple to set up a gig for one of my tracks and just have the occasional synth playing in the back in track.

Performing at the Nottingham Motorpoint Arena is in sight, the fee will be quite expensive as I'm a producer starting off but due to connections I've been promised discounts.

Marketing
For Marketing social media is my main platform, being 'tech savvy' has its perks when you are a starting producer. Twitter is one of the main social medias I use to promote myself and any events I will be attending, due to the ability to 'retweet', you're followers can share the promotion with their followers and its an on going cycle, so you're almost guaranteed to catch some eyes. In addition if you don't have the followers to support you, twitter also offers an advertisement button. You pay for having your tweet promoted onto people who don't necessarily follow you. The more you pay the more people the promotion will reach.

I have photos for my ep's and album covers for when I release them.

Releases
I will be releasing albums and singles within the next coming months, I'm working on fine tuning them till I am content with the product. These albums and singles will be released alongside the photos I told you earlier to be used as album covers etc. I will be releasing them through spotify, apple music and hard copies on cds.
