Hello everyone!
Long time no see! I hope you’ve been having a much better year in 2022 than the last two have been for many of us.
While still working with students across the world, and taking on projects with some partners, I realize that Easy Gigs doesn’t seem too active on our website and social media channels… but don’t be fooled! There has been a lot of planning, research, and development undertaken behind the scenes as a result of development both personally - I completed my master’s in Creative Enterprise which really helped - and through professional experiences, the business went through with some clients and projects we helped out with.
This has taken up most of I also made a choice and decision to operate this business like many of our students would operate their own music businesses & brands and not go for funding to enable me to work on this full time. The result has been a lot of part-time working on Easy Gigs but interestingly has influenced a lot of the teaching work that we have coming up - you can see more on my twitch to see what I mean.
Instead of presenting a lot of “ooo we’ve something big in the works” on social media and having you wait a long time to see them, developing a reputation of “big talk no action” it seemed a way better idea to just crack on and keep making progress where possible. We saw what was happening in the creative industries with groups that were making and breaking big promises to fans and didn’t want to operate in a way that undermined our integrity.
We’re definitely still here and helping musicians push past their limits and make strides in their professional developments. There will be changes coming up through the next through months as we have a lot of content and productions planned - from promotional materials (like website content, and tutorial videos to more blog posts, social media content, email updates) to further products (a couple of new e-courses, courses that can receive accredited qualifications, packages for media content, and updates to our build your brand course). I’m not going to put dates on these yet and will release more information closer to the time.
It goes without saying I’m still very excited and optimistic about what is coming in the future.
We’re opening up a lot of opportunities to people who get involved with our mailing lists and social media feeds - so make sure to sign up and give us a follow!
Finally, I just wanted to say a huge thanks to all the musicians and artists that have walked through our digital doors. It has been fantastic getting to know so many of you from such different walks of life & levels of success with your own careers and I look forward to helping you achieve even more in the future.
It’s been an incredible adventure. Thank you all so much for allowing me to keep doing this. Here’s to another better year!
Kind regards,
Jakk Locke
Easy Gigs Director & Mentor
