Today I am speaking with A&R rep, marketing consultant, and all-round legend, Matt Bacon. Starting out at 14 years old as a music journalist, he now consults with record labels such as Ripple Music, Prophecy Productions, Blacklight Media and Artoffact Records as well as Plastic Head and Your Mate Bookings.

He also runs Dropout media which helps up and coming heavy bands with their marketing and business strategy. In this episode we not only talk about getting signed but also about social media, how to get people to shows, setting goals for 2020 and more!

Matt is a straight-shooting New Yorker so you're going to learn a LOT from this episode and no doubt it'll light a fire under your ass to make the most out of the year to come! Make sure you follow him on socials (@mattbacon666) as he shares music industry and marketing tips daily. Also sub to his podcast, the Dumb & Dumbest podcast!
