This week we are joined by the COO of Toolroom Miles Shackleton and Toolroom Academy Lead Tutor Pete Griffiths to discuss a report presented by Toolroom Academy in partnership with Audience Strategies that aims to understand the barriers new artists face.

As the academy has worked closely with hundreds of students who have graduated through the various courses and mentorships schemes that they offer, Toolroom have a unique insight to the perspective of talented artists struggling to carve a sustainable career for themselves in what is a multi-billion-dollar industry, so the report which is called From Mix to Mainstage – The Blueprint for Emerging Electronic Artists is a direct response to this, providing a deeper comprehension of the industry dynamics, identifying barriers that emerging artists face, as well as offering valuable insights, directions, and a targeted approach to strategy development for emerging artists.
