Supajam Education

Hello everyone!

 

In this week's show, our students and staff react to the UK Creative Festival, which is an annual celebration of music, media and creativity held in Margate every year!

 

The festival has a careers fair, industry panel talks, and even the chance for our students to perform music at it.

 

Check out what some of our staff and students made of it

Getting paid royalties when your music is played or performed on radio, streaming, podcasts, or live in music venues is a great source of income for music makers... but how do you tap into it?!

 

Making money from music isn't always easy, but David from PRS explains how in this podcast, recorded with a live audience at our Canterbury base.

 

Enjoy!

Hello everyone!

 

We were so lucky to have award winning singer/ songwriter Florence Sommerville visit our Canterbury base to perform for us... Which you hopefully checked out last week!

 

This week,  we have an interview with her talking about her creative process - enjoy!

... and do a podcast with us (coming next week!)

 

This week, you can check out her performance of 4 of her amazing songs, and tell the story of each song in between.

 

Then next week, you'll be able to hear her chat about it in more detail, in a podcast that was recorded in front of a live audience of students and staff.

 

Enjoy!

Alex was with us for many years, and now has gone on to work in music & media.

In this podcast, he shares many insights into the kind of things you could expect to be doing once you are ready to leave SupaJam and launch your own career!

Episode 2 of this coming soon!

 

We have a blockbuster episode of our show to kick start this academic year.... ...This guest has worked with some of the most famous musicians EVER.... ...

Steve Sidelynk, who is a drummer & drum machine programmer, talks to us about working with:

 

Madonna, Robbie Williams, Ed Sheeran, Pharell Williams, Madness, Richard Ashcroft, The Style Council, All Saints, and more!

 

He is such a kind and fun person, and we really enjoyed recording this with him at our Canterbury base, with a live audience. He also gives lots of advice and stories that will help you with your own music career - enjoy!

In this week's episode, we welcome Andrea von Kampen to our podcast! She joined us from Nebraska, USA, via Zoom, and our Canterbury students Lois and Lily chatted with her about her music.

Very exciting to have an international guest!
