Inspiration Bomb – John Watson
It’s no secret that here in Australia, there are far more good musicians than there are good music managers. And as for GREAT music managers? You could kinda count them on two hands.
Over the past decade, I’ve been fortunate enough to know and learn from most of them, few more so than John Watson, founder of Eleven Music. As one of the masterminds behind the rather extraordinary success of bands like Silverchair, Gotye, Birds of Tokyo and Missy Higgins, he’s a pretty smart cookie.
John is notoriously generous with his advice, and can spin a tale like the best of them, which is why we’re featuring him as our Inspiration Bomb “Creative Hero” for this week.
Regardless of what industry you’re in, I know you’re gonna get something from hearing what John has to say, because at the very least, it’s a rare insight into how the mind of an incredibly successful person works. Which, in fact, is one of the things that is so interesting about John’s story: he didn’t begin his “career” with the intention of being a massively successful/stupidly-wealthy person. As you will hear, he just followed the things he loved, one after the other. You gotta agree, it’s worked out pretty swell for him!
And lucky us! We also have author/illustrator/BHB Conference Speaker Rachel Power in the hotseat as our Creative Bomb artist for this month! Boy, does she know her way around a beautiful mind-map! You’re gonna love it.
So on that note,
Get into it and please make sure you add your comments below. We want to hear from you!
