#162 - Music Business for Rule Breakers with Damian Keyes

Music Business Hacks

Damian is a social media strategist and a newly emerged influencer with fresh perspectives on using online tools for business growth. Damian graduated from music college at 19 and then joined the core team that grew the same college from 50 students to 800 before leaving at 23 to set up The Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM). This is now the biggest independent provider for full time music education in the world valued at an excess of £60M. He is also the founder/director of DK Music Management, which is the UK’s largest commercial band management company, and Warble Entertainment, the largest commercial entertainment agency in the UK. Following this Damian used his experiences in business and music to begin creating daily content for artists hoping to grow their social media audience. This has expanded into a large online platform for anyone needing advice on their online strategy. This year Damian launched his book ‘The Rule-Breakers Guide to Social Media’ as another resource on this topic, which has become the no.1 bestseller in marketing on Amazon. Be it in business or music, Damian is the go-to man for navigating the new social media landscape. ?
