Portfolio careers or being a 'slashy': Musician-slash-Educator-slash-Songwriter-slash-Producer-slash-Marketing Specialist-slash-Entrepreneur is a way of life for many young people.

You might be a musician, artist or composer, working in education or holding down a main job alongside your artistic career. Or you may be working a 9-5 and progressing in your career by developing a business or side-hustle. 

Our panel discussion took place on 25 June 2019 at Tileyard Studios. We talk about balancing your creative career with your ‘day job’, the opportunities for work in music education, how to set up a freelance side-hustle, and how to combine freelance and employee life successfully.

Speakers:

• Daniel Williams - Youth Engagement Director, Youth Music
• Adem Holness - Relationships Manager, Music, Arts Council England/Music Curator, Horniman Museum & Gardens
• Abimaro - Singer/Songwriter/Music Leader
• Max Wheeler - Musician/Producer/Music Leader/Programme Director and Author at Charanga/Consultant
• Andrea De Leon - A&R Manager, Audio Network/Owner of For Nothing Management

The panel was moderated by Remi Harris MBE, Music Consultant and Co-Founder of Young Guns Network.
