Episode 3: Being a DIY Artist in Today's World and Beyond

Jamz Supernova is a multi-hyphenate force in the UK’s music space, holding multiple labels which are as numerous as they are formidable. She is a label head, radio host, DJ, podcaster, and overall tastemaker with a broadcasting career in the industry spanning more than a decade.

EMC had the pleasure of hosting Jamz at their conference back in 2019 where she sat down with George Maple for an in-conversation about their journeys as DIY artists and offered advice to emerging artists, creatives and professionals on similar paths.

Hosted by Talia Jimenez, Episode 3 is an exploration of artistic resilience and adaptation. Through a ‘then and now’ conversation with Jamz Supernova where we dive into the impact of the pandemic on her work, exploring the pre-and post-COVID landscape, and her perspectives on what it means to be a DIY artist or creator in today's world and beyond. We also discuss the importance of community, mental health, and adapting to the changing landscape of the music industry.

This episode was produced in partnership with TAFE NSW by Jeremy Niass and Iain Wilson.
