#5: VANESSA THOMAS Director at MusiCounts With an impressive resume including current Host on 98.1 C
Since it's the season of giving, we thought this is the perfect time to post our episode with Vanessa Thomas, the Director of MusiCounts, which is Canada's music education charity associated with CARAS (The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences).
On top of hearing about MusiCounts and it's admirable initiatives to help the future music stars of tomorrow; We also hear about what it's like being a radio host, the importance of mentoring and building genuine relationships, why an artist may choose to sign to a U.S. vs Canadian label; we get in to a conversation about her time at Songza finding creative ways to market the brand with a $0 marketing budget (!), the secret to balancing it all, and much much more!
Coming from a strong background in radio and having worked in both the Canadian and U.S. Music industry, Vanessa offers unique insight and great perspectives.
Enjoy!
