Areas Of The Music Industry

Record companies  Record companies are the funding behind the music industry. They sign musicians and pay for, for example, recording, which helps an artist get a successful career in music. They make their money by selling the artist his records. There are several kinds of deals you can sign within a record company:  - Artist Deal The label gives you an advance so you are able to finance recording, promotion and manufacture. But as this money is a loan it has to be paid back, whether you will make money out of this deal or not.

Ramsgate gig 09/06/15 the Major Music Project was given to us just before spring break. Our entire class got divided up into two groups; one was to put on a gig at the college and one to collaborate with East Kent College to put on a gig in Margate. I was put into the group of Margate together with: Melissa, Alijah, Donte, Cody, Shaquille, Maria K, Junior, Erika, Deonne, Shaniece and Mykaela. During our first meeting, we came up with all the roles and divided them between everyone. Olly did point out that, just because you got assigned a role, didn't mean that you had to do it completely on your own. People still had to help one another but it meant that you had to keep all the information together ROLES AND ASSIGNED PEOPLE: -  Make an Equipment list for on the day of departure to make sure that all the equipment we needed was taken to Ramsgate and, more importantly, back to the college. This was done after confirming the tech spec with Alijah.  - Er...
