No route in is the same, and that came through loud and clear at our "Routes In..." event, diving into the world of music production. Three creatives at different points in their journeys, just starting out, mid-way, and firmly established, sat down to talk honestly about the beautiful struggles and hard-won accomplishments that got them to where they are now.
Moderated by Routes In team member Robin Pocornie, the panel brought together Yarriz Lemmers (DJ, producer, vocalist and founder of Zircle), Clarissa Schoeppe (singer-songwriter Clarees and music producer), and Quinten de Pauw (artist and music producer under the name Earl Elliot, and Creative Development Manager at MassiveMusic). Hosted at A'DAM&Co, right next to some of the industry’s most important agencies, the evening also included an open mic session, giving artists in the room the opportunity to step up and share their own talent.
We know not everyone could be in the room on the night, and accessibility matters to us. So we recorded the whole conversation, every lesson, tip, and story, and we're sharing it here for anyone curious about a route into music production, wherever they're watching from.
