Following a successful career as an artist, writer and producer with Warner/679 signed electro act Heads We Dance, Pete Bott gained a master’s degree in law and qualified as a solicitor in 2012.

Starting his legal career as a media and company/commercial lawyer at Blacks Solicitors in Leeds, Pete was shortlisted by the Yorkshire Legal Awards in 2014 as a “Rising Star” and recommended by the Legal 500 for his intellectual property expertise.

Pete moved to London in 2015 to focus his specialism on music and media law.  His clients now include artists such as Bring Me The Horizon, Sigma, Let’s Eat Grandma, While She Sleeps, Hybrid Minds and Fox Stevenson, as well as writers, producers and managers across all genres of music.  In addition, Pete carries out business affairs support for Echo Location (booking agents for artists including Major Lazer, Marshmello, Chase & Status and more), Tileyard Music (managers of Sigala, Ella Eyre, Joel Corry and more) and independent record labels including Easy Life Records and Critical Music, and continues to advise on company/commercial matters.

Outside of the office, Pete lectures on music law and business at several universities and colleges, gives presentations and seminars at key UK and overseas music industry conferences such as Reeperbahn and Output, and takes part in music industry panels and legal advice clinics for organisations including AIM and PRS for Music.

Grahame Farmer hosts Music Talk, a podcast that feels more like a series of candid conversations backstage than a formal interview show. Now in its third season, the focus remains on the practical realities of building a life in music, whether you're behind the decks or in the studio. Each episode is loaded with actionable advice and hard-won insights, but it’s the genuine motivation woven throughout that regular listeners appreciate. You’ll hear from a wide range of voices, from touring artists and label owners to promoters and even lawyers, all discussing the topics that actually matter. Past discussions have dug into navigating platforms like Spotify, the intricacies of getting music signed, and sustaining creative drive. Grahame’s approach is to bring out the inner perspective of his guests, moving beyond surface-level success stories to uncover the real strategies and personal challenges. This isn't just about inspiration; it's a resource built on shared experience. For DJs, producers, and anyone curious about the inner workings of the industry, this podcast offers a direct line to the people shaping the sound.
