Freelance Marketing & Future Strategy Consultant for music businesses & independent artists
Greater Chicago Area
BY DAY: I work in Marketing and Promotion for a variety of small music businesses and independent artists. This can involve content creation and social networking to raise awareness, various social media and SEO work, as well as brand and community managing to help increase sales and revenue. I have worked with record labels for the last 4 years, mainly in release, artist and event promotion, but also helping with digital distribution and online support.
I promoted my own music events for the last five years in London, UK. Sometimes for charity (most successful was $6,000 for Cancer Research), and more often for profit and my own career development. I DJ and produce electronic music, which comes from many years of absorbing music. I currently have good support from high profile DJs in various parts of the world. The production work also stems from a two year London college course in Music Technology.
The changes in the digital world are a huge interest for me. I am keen to learn much more and adapt as the market changes. As well as attending various seminars and conferences on the music business in both the US and the UK, I am studying at Berkleemusic, the online school of the noted Berklee College in Boston, covering The Future of the Music Industry (4.0), Music Marketing (3.7), Music Publising (ongoing) and more, leading all the way to a full US degree.
BY NIGHT: Lee Jarvis is one of the most exciting young DJs to emerge from the London scene, playing his own blend of house music, mixed with his unique energy and passion. He has played at many of London’s major venues plus several European and US gigs.
Lee's clubnight Moochin became one of the most respected nights on the UK underground house scene, with international guest DJs.
Lee has also released some killer tracks for labels such as 4Kenzo, Lost My Dog and 1200 traxx. These have been picked up and supported by key players in the house scene, from Mark Farina to Sneak to Diz to Justin Long.
