Mike Ragogna: What advice might you have for new artists?

Leon Beckenham: That’s a tricky one. I guess just keep plugging away and getting the music heard has to be the priority. Obviously, with all the music technologies, it’s increasingly a writer’s and cacophonist’s landscape. There are so many new artists that have platforms, but I think it’s just a case of plugging away, plugging, plugging away. Very few artists have that big break anymore. Now it just seems to be putting in the legwork for each gig you do, each radio session you do. For each person who hears the music, you’re making that advance, even if just a tiny increment… It’s a marathon not a sprint. You just have to keep plugging away.
