Monica Strut, an Australian musician and career coach for bands. After working for years as a music journalist and digital marketer (and seeing too many of her talented peers give up on music early on in their careers), she started her coaching business to help emerging bands get the exposure they deserve.

Through her coaching, consulting, online courses, Facebook group and Being in a Band podcast she has helped hundreds of musicians become empowered to reach the next level in their careers. During our conversation, she offers up some great tips on social media marketing, Spotify playlisting, and how to balance a day job while pursuing your dreams.
