Workshops
Is talent enough to make it to the top? What will you find in the average record contract? And why is the best place to record the drums always on the roof of the studio? Don't worry you can find answers to these and other questions at the Undiscovered workshops.
There are also one-to-one sessions with managers and A&Rs. So bring your demo or questions and get an opinion in person. But be early, these sessions are bound to be popular.
