    I know your time is precious, especially when you're eager to get back to creating your music!

    That's why most of my episodes are short and to the point, ensuring you get the valuable insights you need quickly:-)

    However, I also have some special episodes where I dive deep into conversations with fascinating individuals from the music business. This episode features the incredibly talented and versatile Marieke Meischke. With extensive experience as a booking agent, (showcase) festival director/programmer, juror, coach and much more...

    In this particular episode, Marieke will share her perspective as a booking agent, shedding light on why showcases are of utmost importance for aspiring artists. Whether you're just starting out on your musical journey or aiming to take your career to the next level, this discussion is packed with valuable information and tips that you won't want to miss.

    More about Marieke:
    Since over 25 years Marieke Meischke has been exploring and walking the field of music, internationally, as a booking agent, tour manager, teacher, lyricist and festival producer/director with particular interest in emerging bands/projects.
    She was running eclectic music festivals FlatFest and So What’s Next? in the Netherlands and a new 3-day festival (2024) is in the making. Marieke is equally passionate about being a coach/guide in talent development (applying Voice Dialogue) and being an advisor at the Dutch Performing Arts Fund, on many festival/award juries and boards.
    It is all about connection, communication and collaboration, the sowing and reaping that leads to the right artist on the right stage in the right frame of mind and body, expressing the core of their story.

  • 41: MONEY!! Navigating the Tricky Terrain of Musicians and Finances.
    Jul 8 2025

    In this Episode I talk about a tough subject for many Musicians: discussing MONEY.

    When it comes to discussing money, many of us find ourselves in uncharted waters, grappling with uncertainty, fear, and even imposter syndrome.

    I will give you some tips and tricks to make this much easier.

    Let me know if you have any questions/comments, or would be interested in a private online session.

    I’ve been hosting this podcast for quite some time now, and I’m thrilled with the success it has achieved so far. However, I’ve noticed that some of my earlier episodes— which are still highly relevant and evergreen—haven’t received as much attention as they deserve. So, I’ve decided to re-upload these valuable episodes to give you another chance to dive into them.

    If you haven’t already, please subscribe to the podcast, and don’t forget to like and share it with fellow musicians. Your support means the world and helps us grow together!

  • 40 Why I Believe Every Musician Needs a Website (Yes, Even in the Age of Social Media)
    Jun 11 2025

    In this episode, I want to talk about something that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential for any serious musician: having your own website.

    I know—social media is powerful. But platforms come and go, algorithms change, and relying solely on them means you're building your career on rented land. Your website, on the other hand, is your digital home. It’s the one place online that you fully control, and it speaks volumes about your professionalism.

    I’ll share why I believe every musician—whether you're performing, composing, or teaching—needs a website, and how mine has helped me connect with venues, collaborators, and audiences around the world.
