Making Music In A New World - with Scotty Stacks

This week, Steven talks to Scotty Stacks, one third of South London rap trio, The Manor, about the effects of the pandemic upon the arts, how he and the band have developed an entirely new business model in the wake of the disruption, and why you should never judge a book by its cover when it comes to making your mind up about people or places.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
COVID has devastated the music industry, and left many aspiring artists in desperate need of a lifeline in order to survive financially. The re-opening of the country will see an explosion in the creative arts.
The music business is heavily skewed to favour established, larger artists. If new artists can be seen as start-up businesses, the monetisation side of streaming and digital means that the returns are not practical.
Just because people don't talk with a specific accent, or come from a certain place, you should never discount the beauty of their soul, or their potential for greatness.
There seems to be a shame associated with people who want better things for themselves, but why wouldn't you? Never be ashamed of wanting more.
BEST MOMENTS
'We need to find a way to generate income now beyond conventional means'
'Every artist is operating heavily in the red'
'People want us to win!'
'Wealth is inside and out'

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
