Nancy Moran was with us to talk about artist booking. As the co-founder of Azalea Music, she is a mentor to artists helping them pave the way for their music career.
Getting a late start in music and having worked her way through struggles hasn’t slowed Nancy down. She has spent a great deal of time helping with artist booking and showing artists how to get their music out to the world. She also shows artists how to book more and better gigs. Her and her husband, Fett, are hosts to a women-only clinic called Empowering Women in Audio where they show female artists all the things they need to know in order to create great sounding music. They get down to the nitty gritty and empower you to produce your own music. Their next clinic starts on July 27th through the 30th in Nashville. Spots are limited so make sure you register for this unique clinic.
