Introduction
My name is Pete Bott. I'm a solicitor at Swan Turn Solicitors, which is a music and media firm. That's what I specialize in.
Background
- I've been a musician for about 20 years.
- I studied music at Leeds University.
- I have been in quite a few different signed bands. One of them was signed to a label called 679, which was part of Warner at the time.
Experience in the Music Industry
During my time in the music industry, I've taken on various roles, including:
- Performing Artist
- Writer
- Producer
- Remixer
- Manager (involved in managing the band)
- Public Relations (handling press and promotion)
After a period of time, I decided to perhaps do the sensible thing and get a day job. So, I retrained as a solicitor, and that's what I've been doing for the last six years.
The Importance of Professional Support
You get into music to do the kind of creative, fun stuff, and then someone will say,
"You need a lawyer and you need an accountant."
If you're quite young, you might think,
"I don't know, it's not really what I expected."
However, it is crucial to remember that this is the music business, and having professional advisers as part of your business team is essential. It's important to realize that you do need these people to support you.
About the instructor
Imogen Heap es una cantante, compositora, productora y tecnóloga inglesa ganadora de un Grammy, cuya influencia recorre dos décadas de pop, electrónica y música para cine — y buena parte de la tecnología que los artistas de hoy dan por sentada. Nacida en Londres en 1977 y con formación clásica en piano, violonchelo y clarinete, publicó su álbum debut 'iMegaphone' en 1998 antes de formar el dúo Frou Frou con el productor Guy Sigsworth, cuya canción 'Let Go' llegó a una audiencia global gracias a la película Garden State. Su álbum 'Speak for Yourself' (2005), escrito y producido íntegramente por ella, incluyó 'Hide and Seek', el hito a capela que después impulsó el nº 1 de Jason Derulo 'Whatcha Say' y 'Goodnight n Go' de Ariana Grande, y que sigue conquistando a nuevas generaciones de oyentes. 'Ellipse' (2009) ganó el Grammy en la categoría Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical — grabado en su propio estudio doméstico — y más tarde coescribió y produjo 'Clean' en '1989' de Taylor Swift, ganador del Grammy al Álbum del Año. También compuso la música de la obra teatral 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'. Innovadora incansable, Heap desarrolló los guantes gestuales MI.MU — reconocidos con tres doctorados honoris causa — y fundó Mycelia y The Creative Passport, iniciativas que construyen un ecosistema de datos más justo para los artistas. En 2024 regresó con 'What Have You Done to Me?', creada junto a su álter ego vocal de IA, Mogen, mientras el resurgir viral de 'Headlock' acercaba su música a millones de nuevos fans. read more
