Episode 4 of the BIMM : Inside the Music Industry podcast is here! If you want to work in A&R and find new bands then you need to immerse yourself in music until you know what's good, you might even not know why... That's the message from Music for Nations' Joel De'ath.

Recorded at the Sony offices, Joel explains what it takes to succeed in A&R and also discusses how he got started, his love of 'heavy' music and how he discovered The Darkness. Enjoy!

BIMM’s Inside the Music Industry pulls back the curtain on the music business, giving an up close, intimate look into the numerous roles, positions and career paths possible within this ever-changing field. Our very own Dr. Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, best-selling author and industry veteran, will be interviewing experts from across the music community, to find out their individual paths, what their ‘average’ day looks like and advice for finding your own niche while embarking on a successful and fulfilling career.
