#154 - Aaron Peters
Manage episode 397707988 series 2650476
Aaron Peters is a cultural curator. That's a fancy way of saying he does a whole lot behind the scenes of Cape Town's music community. Aaron has been a pivotal force behind CT's music scene for most of his adult life. He started out as a manager, booking agent, and promoter, leading to him working at Black Major, before starting up The Other Records and The Other Radio. He's also responsible for booking the lineup for the Search Festival, amongst many other projects.
In this episode, we get into the hustle of making money from underground music in South Africa, how working at the CT Jazz Festival as a teen laid the foundations for his career, and what it's like to fall asleep with the sounds of Alice Phoebe Lou writing songs next door. Enjoy.
