Hey I am Sharon Brooks and I have been working in the music industry for over fifteen years.
My experience started as a graduate working as an intern in a music PR agency promoting and later for some well known Independent record companies including Mute, Roughtrade and Sounds Of The Underground, working on their press, radio and TV promotions.
I was later head hunted and turned to the business side of the music industry. I managed independent label, RCR and subsequently co-founding BMP UK with one of the partners where we also launched and set up Mawa/UNCUT International Division, producing, licensing and exporting pop music DVDs across the globe.
I am also a freelance broadcaster and business coach. I consult/ coach clients on at Swiss Media UK how to turn their creativity through marketing on and offline into a viable business.
When I first came into the music industry it was exciting and great fun but also frustrating at times as it was very much learning through trial and error. There was no real place to understand the ins and outs of the music business.
My aim is to inspire, connect and encourage start-up labels, struggling producers and singer song writers, through networking events and interviews on my Podcasts with Industry professionals and successful DIY artists and Independents Labels who produce or release music.
