Joe’s been making music forever, but his first real-world project came during an internship he took after leaving school. He freelanced on the side after that while waiting tables, and then landed a corporate sales job which he really, really hated.
With help from a friend, Joe found his way back to music and began studying for his masters and picking up freelance work once again.
He had a stint in-house before taking his freelance business full-time, and eventually, when an office in-joke caught on, he rebranded from Joe Basille Music to The Chicken.
He chats to Steve about finding work, building a network, attending events, and diversifying his income.
