Tell us about your involvement in the 2014 Australasian Worldwide Music Expo.
I will be showcasing with my band at the Lounge on Sunday November 16.
AWME endorses business-related concepts of the music industry such as bookings, marketing, distribution, licensing and networking. How important have these concepts been in the development of your career as a musician?
Industry showcase events aren’t necessarily my cup of tea as a musician, but as a self-managed artist I find them incredibly useful to make contact with a broad range of music industry figures and networks when I am trying to promote my music and “product”.
How do you hope to benefit from the 2014 AWME in regards to your career in the music industry?
I hope to get a bit of industry support and interest for my up-coming release.
What’s your number one unmissable AWME event this year?
Hiatus Kaiyote. Love them.
LEAH FLANAGAN brings her breezy, evocative set to Lounge with Santa Taranta (ITA), Yoyo Tuki (Easter Island), Bongeziwe Mabandla (Sth Africa), Oh Pep! and Glenn Skuthorpe on the afternoon of Sunday November 16 as part of AWME.
