"I spent so many years perfecting my craft but not enough time learning how to protect it. The more work I got offered the more exposed I felt as a self-employed musician.
“Joining the Musicians’ Union has not only made me feel protected but has also enhanced my confidence as a working professional. Accepting and expecting the right deals and collecting a healthy catalogue of contacts.
“Pursuing a career in music can sometimes feel like a lonely uphill battle but by joining a union you receive the professional support you need to allow your creativity to lead to longevity.”
