“Scotland is generally an amazing place for music and the way people value it. For aspiring artists I would say go out, have fun and be confident to share your music and seek those opportunities to do so.”
“Be authentic, be yourself. Get up, get out there, show-up. Above all things value your health and mental wellbeing.“
“Just be yourself, do what your gut tells you and enjoy yourself. Only happens once as Liam Gallagher once said. Blink and its done. Be happy.”
“Try not to compare yourself to anyone else - this has never done any good for any one!”
“I don't believe in big deals and labels coming to save you anymore, you’ve really got to adapt, hustle and take every opportunity you can.”
“Conferences like Resonate are vital for younger artists to find out more about releasing, management/PR opportunities & more. It's definitely something I recommend for any artist in the scene at any level. “
“The creative industries have been hit hard after the pandemic and cost of living crisis so it’s good to get out there, meet and work with other artists and build up our creative communities.”
“Don't work for social media creating content you don't fully connect with to the point of burning yourself out. Make social media work for you instead.”
“Don’t rely on good tunes getting you all the opportunities. Ask people for things. Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to be DIY. “
“Don't be afraid to reach out to folks who you'd like to make contact with, Scotland's a tiny country, and also we appreciate someone with a bit of guts.”
“Meeting people face to face and having real human relationships leaves a lasting impression that will set you up well for when you are ready to take things to the next level.”
“I definitely started off caring so much about streams and followers and now after having done it for a couple years, it's so much fun just getting to make music without getting caught up on stuff like that.“
“But my advice at the moment if I were to give any, and it’s something that I am telling myself a lot right now, is to remember the main reason why you are actually making and doing music in the first place…”
“When you hear popular sounding songs, they're a vibe, but you can’t quite describe the genre - It’s Neo!“
“By embracing and championing queer artists, the music industry can foster a more inclusive and accepting community for everyone to enjoy.”
