Show Notes
Kat Kennedy is an artist manager, working with the likes of We Are Scientists, Emeli Sandé and Liz Lawrence. She has built a renowned reputation for herself within the industry, working at BigLife Management for over 16 years. Kat was selected as a participant in the 2020-21 Keychange programme and often speaks at various conferences and industry events. This conversation was fascinating, speaking to someone with so much experience working in the music industry was really eye-opening. Generally, I am surrounded by others who are relatively 'new' to the industry, however, speaking with Kat put a lot of my thoughts into perspective. In this episode, we talk about how she started at BigLife, her journey through student radio, as well as what being a manager consists of. I hope you LOVE this episode, if you're wanting to get into working directly with artists in a management capacity, this episode is definitely for you.

Even after nearly a decade of being a photographer, my heart still races before most jobs. In this episode of Noisy and Outspoken, I'm breaking down the taboo around pre-show / job anxiety and why feeling nervous just means you care about your craft.
Packing for life on the road is a true art and every person has a list of their non-negotiable items that keep them sane, healthy, and functional when living out of a suitcase.
If you were to remove your tag on Instagram, would anyone know that you took the photograph? That's what we're talking about today, how to find YOUR creative style, not just one you copied from someone else on social media.
When people think of music photography, they picture summer festivals and constantly being on tour. But the reality of turning this into a full-time career? It often means taking on some unsexy jobs behind the scenes that help to pay the bills...
