Self Management for Musicians-by Mike del Ferro

I know your time is precious, especially when you're eager to get back to creating your music!
That's why most of my episodes are short and to the point, ensuring you get the valuable insights you need quickly:-)

However, I also have some special episodes where I dive deep into conversations with fascinating individuals from the music business. This episode features the incredibly talented and versatile Marieke Meischke. With extensive experience as a booking agent, (showcase) festival director/programmer, juror, coach and much more...

In this particular episode, Marieke will share her perspective as a booking agent, shedding light on why showcases are of utmost importance for aspiring artists. Whether you're just starting out on your musical journey or aiming to take your career to the next level, this discussion is packed with valuable information and tips that you won't want to miss.

More about Marieke:
Since over 25 years Marieke Meischke has been exploring and walking the field of music, internationally, as a booking agent, tour manager, teacher, lyricist and festival producer/director with particular interest in emerging bands/projects.
She was running eclectic music festivals FlatFest and So What’s Next? in the Netherlands and a new 3-day festival (2024) is in the making. Marieke is equally passionate about being a coach/guide in talent development (applying Voice Dialogue) and being an advisor at the Dutch Performing Arts Fund, on many festival/award juries and boards.
It is all about connection, communication and collaboration, the sowing and reaping that leads to the right artist on the right stage in the right frame of mind and body, expressing the core of their story.
