Ok a few months back I ran an online summit where some of my music industry expert mates came on and gave some lectures. And today I'm replaying one such lecture with my good buddy Rod Yates who is the editor of Rolling Stone Magazine Australia.

 

Rod and I go back many years, we're both from good old Canberra, and Rod and I played shows when my band Alchemist played gigs with his band who were called Henry's Anger, and they were a great band- go and google em.

Anyhow Rod has now become a gate keeper if you like for one of the world's most prestigious music print media brands. He's the editor of Rolling Stone Magazine Australia, and even during this hectic period of digital disruption, Rolling Stone seems to be holding it's own.

So I suppose this talk is a bit of an interrogation. I branded it as How To Get Your Music Featured In Major Music Outlets. And I think Rod gives a pretty good insight into how to go about trying to do that so I hope you enjoy the replay.

And without further delay- here's my presentation with Rod Yates from Rolling Stone Magazine Australia.

Well there you have it ladies and gents. I hope you agree that there's some pretty good take away's from that discussion.

Without vision, even the most focused passion is a battery without a device.
