Here at EMI A&R, we spend lots of time answering questions of independent artists whether we’re out and about, at a conference or on email. We thought it would be good to share those answers more broadly and make them public so everyone can benefit from them.

Every month, we’re going to be answering your questions in blog posts or direct to camera about life at a major label and Australian music in general.

You can see the first installment here with EMI’s A&R scout Mark Holland discussing a day in the life of an A&R scout, the role of MySpace and his favourite Australian producers.

See you in a month!
