Kirt Debique 'Syncfloor' (Sync, tech startups, sourcing funding)

Welcome back and thanks for coming. Here is episode 72 of my little podcast and this episode's origins are a little different to the rest of the podcasts that I have done. I was reached out to by representatives of Kirt to see if I would be interested in talking to him for the show (something I was very flattered by, I never thought i’d get to that stage) and I of course jumped at the chance to speak to someone in his position. Kirt is the CEO of US based B2B sync platform ‘Syncfloor’. Syncfloor offers music users a simple way to access, find, search and license all sorts of music for their projects. Kirt has a background in tech (via Microsoft) as well as in music (as a performer but also as an indie label owner). It was a fascinating chat and Kirt was an amazing guest. Not going to lie I was nervous before starting this one but he was a joy to chat to and I’d love to have the chance to chat to him again in the not too distant future. Links to everything Syncfloor are below. Enjoy! https://syncfloor.com/

Mike Burgess Returns (Sound with Mike music business coach)

Here is the other returning guest. This was meant to be part two of episode 50 but instead it had to be a separate episode in its own right. Mike was Episode 1 (https://audioboom.com/posts/7020047-mike-burgess-sound-with-mike-music-business-coach) so its fitting that he is also episodes 51 and kicks off the next 50 (I hope) episodes.

A lot has happened for Mike in the first 2 years of his new business start up and he talk candidly about what he has been working on these past two years. Some really interesting stuff here. Enjoy

Danny Roberts returns (Made Records)

Danny Roberts returns (Made Records)

A special one for Episode 50. I was going to get 2 previous guests back to speak a little bit about what they have been up to these past 2 years but both conversations were longer than anticipated and too good to edit down more than this so they have been split into separate episodes.

Here is Danny Roberts (Episode 5 (https://audioboom.com/posts/7020286-danny-roberts-a-r-manager-decca-records) ) returning to talk about leaving Decca and joining Made Records and what they are doing and how it all works now. It’s a great listen (even if I do say so myself).

Giles Luckes (Lucky G Production Music)

Giles is an editor in the TV world in Bristol and also the founder and owner of a music production company based out that way as well. So we talked about working in TV and what goes into that, how music fits into that side of his work (great insight into a very important area of the business for those interested in getting their music used in TV and beyond) and also how things have been faring in the world of production music.
This is a great companion episode to episode 10 with Ray Pagden (https://audioboom.com/posts/7104928-ray-pagden-production-music-motus-music) who also discussed production music so get involved.

Neil Gaffney (Universal Records)

I worked with Neil for a time whilst I was part of the team at peermusic publishing so it was awesome just to catch up with him for this conversation. He is an amazing fountain of knowledge for everything music rights related. Something many people take for granted but if you want to be discovered easier and very importantly if you want to get paid then what he has to say here is VERY important.

This one has been a long time coming. I have been speaking with Laura for many months to be able to talk to her about her career in the creative industries and her current work with mental health and music but we just never managed to find a date that worked...until now.
We spoke over zoom about music, mental health, the benefits of coaching, setting up businesses that are both successful and not so and lots more in between. Enjoy!

The final episode for 2019 is here and it’s a great chat with Promotion, Publicity and Tour Marketing manager at Redbull Records Joe Kettle. Joe is another friend from Uni (I promise there are only a couple more of these) who has done some amazing things in his journey through the music business.
In this episode we discuss artist management, Redbull records themselves and how they operate in the business as well as how best to navigate the interesting world of promotions and publicity in the modern music business.
Really appreciate Joe fitting me in so close to Christmas and I’ll get told off if I don’t also mention that his band (the Noughty Boys - featuring two other podcast guests Danny Roberts (https://audioboom.com/posts/7020286-danny-roberts-a-r-manager-decca-records) and Andy Bibey (https://audioboom.com/posts/7227143-andy-bibey-manager-freelance-consultant) ) are playing at the Dogstar in Brixton on January 31st.

Hannah Cartwright (Composer, Artist - Snow Ghosts)

The penultimate episode of series 2 is with the wonderful Hannah Cartwright from the band Snow Ghosts (amongst many other creative projects that we discuss). She invited me to come to her studio (castle) near Bath and have a chat about her life in music and being a composer, being in bands and writing music for media.
I had met Hannah the first time when she was part of the team at production music house ‘Extreme Music’ who we talk about a bit in the episode as well. Really enjoyed this conversation and the massive cups of teas I was made. Would love to get her back on to talk more about the creative processes so watch this space for that.

This episode (10) of the pod is with Daisy Carberry. Marketing co-ordinator at BMG Rights Management. Daisy is another one of the wonderful ex students of mine who have kindly been up for coming on the show to chat about what they are up to since graduating from uni and Daisy is currently smashing it at BMG.
We talk about her time at uni and how she realised it was the business side and not the songwriting side of music that she wanted to pursue. We talk about taking the plunge and moving to London without any roots there and we talk about what day to day life at BMG looks like.

James Pepper (Guitar Tech)

This weeks episode takes a different look at the live music business. After speaking to promoters and booking agents here is a chat with a member of the touring crew.
James Pepper is a uni friend who is now doing wonderful things over in the USA as a major part of Nathaniel Rateliff’s road crew.
Pepper has been in this work for around 8 years now and has worked with other bands like The Temperance Movement and Frightened Rabbit and we have an awesome catch up chat about all this touring and life in the team with the band. It was a lot of fun (and frustrating at times due to technical issues) to record, I hope you enjoy listening.

This conversation was originally going to come out back in August on the back of a great live version of the chat about all things live music and putting on music festivals that we had at this years 2000 trees festival but for many reasons I was unable to put that episode out so have done this wonderful do over conversation.
James is a great person to talk to about live music and has a very interesting perspective on working in the business as someone who got into it that little bit later than most. We also have almost the exact same taste in music which is always nice when you find yourself in a music chat. Hope you enjoy it.

Harriet Moss (MD Manners McDade Music Publishing)

Episode 12 of series 2 is an extra special episode as I managed to pin Manners McDade MD Harriet Moss down for a chat about music publishing and becoming a Managing Director of a company at 27.
As discussed in the chat I first met Harriet a number of years back when she first joined Manners McDade looking after the sync side of the business and she has been killing it ever since. This is a brilliant chat and Harriet has loads of amazing insights to give about songwriting and music publishing as well as being a woman in the industry. Enjoy!

Dot Allison (Songwriter & Artist)

Dot Allison (Songwriter & Artist)

Episode 10 of the Podcast. Talking to Songwriter and performer Dot Allison about her career in music. This was a really interesting chat as Dot is another contributor to the pod who I had not met before we got to talk. It was over skype and I have to admit, I had technical issues my end but we managed it and it was an awesome chat about songwriting.
Dot has some great insights about writing as an artist and also writing for and with other artists and about some of the things that all emerging and emerged songwriters should keep in mind when forging a path through the industry. Enjoy

Happy First birthday to me. And to celebrate here is episode 9 of the pod with Alex Lodge, Director and Music Supervisor at Thirty Two Music and Co-founder of Virtual Sound and Truant Recordings.
I have known Alex a while from my time in Synchronisation and we talked about a whole host of things related to sync. The chats on working with songwriters in this space and the way different people go about networking are some of my personal favs.
Really appreciate Alex giving me the time to have this chat. I hop you enjoy listening to it.
