Here’s an article I came across on twitter by thejellyfarm. The author breaks it down from budget to creativity and the ‘men in suits’. I got a couple of friends in the media industry who faced the same problem. I guess we musicians ain’t that much different from the rest. Long as we’re classified under ‘local [...]
