Little Wins on Your Way to the Big Time

Here’s a simple timeline from eight weeks out to three weeks after release: pitching windows, content batching, emails, and follow-through.

Grants are a turbo button, not an engine. I show you how to write clear, human applications with realistic budgets and measurable outcomes.

I discuss key Australian music industry events—APRA programs, BIGSOUND, Indie-Con, AMW, SXSW Sydney—and when they usually land, plus a few international showcases.

Some ideas fit other voices better. I cover modern pitching realities: radio-ready demos, writer-producer teams, and where outside cuts still happen.

These shows offer exposure on their terms—song choice, styling, narrative. I lay out the trade-offs and why original artists often build better off-camera.

Paid help can work—under the right terms. I give you questions that surface real deliverables, recent wins, and time-boxed promises.

Awards won’t make a career, but they can add credibility if you pick well. I walk through Australian pillars, useful international comps, and simple timing tips.

Film and TV want finished, easy-to-clear tracks. I cover deliverables, metadata, one-stop rights, and tidy playlists that help supervisors say yes.
