Katherine Forbes On Marketing Your Music Online & Creating Content (Audio Only) Ep.#007

Katherine Forbes is the founder of Designing the Row (as in Music Row) and creator of Music Biz Besties. She came to Nashville the day after she graduated from college because she wanted to be in the music business. Even though she knew no one and nothing about the industry, I was determined to make music my career.

While in Nashville she launched her company Designing the Row. Recently she self published her first book “Market Your Music Online – A workbook for Musicians.” This is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it. Recently she’s also started a music business support group on Facebook for women called Music Biz Besties. She’s also a blogger, web designer, and all around marketing ninja. One of the most important tips for anyone on social media is to engage with others. And that’s actually how Katherine and I met. I found her book on an instagram post, and reached out to get a copy and to introduce it to my Artist Development class at Full Sail University.

This interview starts off with an acoustic performance by Alaina Stacy from Maybe April, who’s a very talented singer-songwriter in Nashville. If you like what you hear, you can find more info on her band at MaybeApril.com. This was a really fun interview. I hope you all enjoy!

I'm the host of the Making It with Chris G. podcast, where I have conversations with the leaders in the world of entertainment, sharing their stories and insight to help you get one step closer to making it. My background comes from the live music side, having worked as a Talent Buyer for Live Nation, and promoted shows with AEG Live during my time as Talent Buyer at the Plaza Live. It all started with a charity event called Rock for Hunger in 2006. As of today, I’ve booked and promoted over 2,500 shows, and counting. Since 2012, I've been working as an artist manager, college professor, guest lecturer, and podcaster.

My career as a Music Business professor started at Full Sail University in 2015. In 2017, I moved to South Florida to teach at Florida International University, and guest lecture across the country. I started the podcast and the blog to create the resources that I wish existed when I started my journey in the music business, and to help YOU, musicians, and students to navigate through this industry. Keep in touch, and let us know what kind of content you need to help you get one step closer to MAKING IT.
