Welcome to Who’s Next? and our new networking platform aimed at introducing you to a diverse community of talented, like-minded music industry professionals.
We want to shift our gaze away from the execs hugging yet another platinum record and instead stare directly into the eyes of the new kids on the block, the change-makers, the behind-the-scenes people doing remarkable work, or even those in the trenches taking grenades. This is for YOU.
After working in the industry for many years, we recognize that everyone wants more contacts. We are always searching for more people to help us better our careers and create more opportunities. But how do we find them?
Gone are the days of outdated hierarchy and ‘exclusive boys club’ mentality. We no longer need to ‘pay our dues’ and fight for every contact. By creating an open-minded community we can ditch those awkward networking events, avoid cold calling or begging for email introductions. Don’t worry about spending anymore time trawling through through LinkedIn. We got you.
Who’s Next? makes it simple for you to make all the contacts you need to keep progressing in your career through introductions in our zine, regular newsletters, on our ‘spotlight’ blog, and at our curated events. Lots of great individuals and opportunities, straight to your inbox, without lifting a finger.
So sign up, discover some extraordinary people, rapidly expand your global network, increase job opportunities and smash those glass ceilings caused by race, age and gender discrimination.
“We have a tendency to network up, but it’s really about networking across. Who’s next to you? Who’s struggling? Who’s in the trenches with you? Who’s just as hungry as you are? Those are the people that you need to build with.

SPOTLIGHT & NewsLetter
Our ‘Spotlight’ blog highlights just a few of the great people we admire. Read the interview then google them, connect with them directly, learn from them.
The highlights will also be included in our monthly newsletter, meaning the crème de la crème of the industry will be delivered right to your inbox.
“I don’t talk to old people. That’s because even as things are quickly changing, they try to find ways to stay static. Young folks are the ones with the ideas”
events
Our curated events provide an intimate setting to bring people together, share ideas and find ways to work together. Some will also focus on a current industry issue/news topic and discuss ways that we can rally and provide solutions. Either way, you’ll walk away with new contacts, having had a jolly good, productive time.
