Ep 7: Laneway Talks with Vince & Rob

Vince and Rob discussed the latest trends and challenges in the music industry, including Universal Music's decision to pull out of TikTok and the evolution of publishing in the digital age. They also discussed the differences in focus and concentration between their generation and the current younger generation, and the complexities of the music publishing industry. Donato emphasized the importance of playing 200 gigs a year, gaining recognition for one's talent, and establishing a strong family background and support system. Boundy highlighted the need to work one's way up to larger venues, create a unique sound, and gain respect from peers. Both Vince and Rob emphasized the importance of planning and execution, and agreed that sticking to a well-thought-out plan over 12 months would be the litmus test for success. Vincent and Rob decided to chat away one day about the music business in their territory and from that discussion came the idea to create a podcast about our knowledge base. Vincent from the business side of things and Rob from the education side. Vincent has a 35 year history in entertainment, and Rob has just completed his Phd in Music at the University of Adelaide. Those backgrounds will bring about some real differences in what they interpret the music business is and how it operates. Join the guys for an hour of insights into the business.
