Is going to uni for a Music Business degree worth it?

  • Depends what you want out of it - music is all about people you know, music you know and the infrastructure you choose to put around you.

    It's essentially a series of microbusinesses - as soon as your mindset is that way and you know how to see the interactions inbetween it can really help.

    Doing a Music Business degree has one massive advantage: the connections and networking whilst you are there. However, it is definitely not obligatory - and at the moment I would probably go to do something else that's a bit more "global-warming-y" proof as touring has shown how truly fragile it is. The complete collapse of the industry because of one pandemic is terrifying.

    What did you want to go into within the music industry?

    In the meantime if you're interested in reading up on it I would get this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Need-Know-about-Music-Business/dp/1501122185/ref=asc_df_1501122185/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=273092222521&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11133583997400148055&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045881&hvtargid=pla-828118326645&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

    It's an absolute bible of knowledge.
