On the August 24 last year I posted the goals I had planned for myself personally in music industry for the coming 18 months. They were:
- Attend South by South West 2012 and establish new contacts national and internationally.
- Use community support and networks to make the trip to SXSW to its full potential.
- Write a successful grant application.
- Put on a successful TAFE assessment event 'Friends with Benefits'
- Participate in an Internship with a record label such as Modular, Elephant Traks, Illusive Obese Records etc.
- Pass Cert 4 in Music Business.
- Complete an application for the The Seed.
Wow, I really do set the bar high for myself. Dreaming BIG should be my middle name. Though I didn’t make it so SXSW I did attend Big Sound Music Conference in Brisbane (the Australian version of SXSW) and attended Fuse Music Conference in Adelaide. From these trips I obtained an internship with Elefant Traks in Sydney –tick. A second internship in Perth with Jump Climb – tick. And landed the most rewarding job ever with Boomtick – MASSIVE TICK! The grant application is still to happen and the TAFE assessment which ended evolving into a hip hop gig kicked arse! Cert 4 completed though The Seed application was written but I never submitted it due to other commitments.
So I sit here and reflect and regroup. What does the next 12 months have in store for me? I believe in setting goals and smashing them to pieces, fanaticizing about opportunities that are so fair fetched that when I share them with people the roll their eyes but smile politely. I would have loved to go to the US but that little thing called money sometimes seems to stop me I my tracks. Below are my goals for year to come:
- Book a working holiday to the US.
- Write a successful grant application for an artist or project I believe in.
- SUBMIT The Seed 2013 application.
- Work as a team with Boomtick to sellout Breakfest 2012. Establish fresh and innovative ideas and concepts for upcomning events and projects.
- Continue to work on Chics in Music Business with my ladies!
- Get The Stoops on Big Day Out 2013 Festival line-up and Triple J radio play.
- Meet Iggy Azelia
So there they are. Hopefully you will come on the journey with me for another year, thanks for all your support.
Love Evie x
