Q+A: MARK SUTHERLAND
Mark Sutherland has been covering music and the music business for over 30 years. He started out producing his own fanzine, which landed him a job on legendary pop magazine Smash Hits. He then helped chronicle the Britpop era via senior editorial roles at NME and Melody Maker and was part of the launch team for BBC Radio 6 Music. He’s also a music industry expert, having served as global editor of Billboard and editor of UK music industry ‘bible’, Music Week. He is currently a Variety columnist and contributing editor to Music Business Worldwide, and is the presenter of the hit podcast, The Money Trench: The Music Industry Podcast With Mark Sutherland.
There’s not much about the music industry that Mark doesn’t know. We’ll be chatting to him about the opportunities for independent artists in the modern music industry and digging in to his insight from interviewing many industry leaders. We are very lucky to have Mark visiting us here in Birkenhead and we can’t wait to hear from him.
