HSDC Student Gives Her Take
I asked Emma if she saw herself working in the music industry and if so what she would like to do, acknowl - edging that the music industry is a very tricky place to get a job, she responded with this: ‘I think working in the music industry is definitely a possible career choice for my future. There’s such a range of possibilities from producing to engineering that I’d be interested in doing more research about them to get a further understand - ing of what they all entail. Although I extremely enjoy lis - tening and playing music, I’d say it was unlikely that I’d go down this route mainly because of how hard the industry is to get into. It will always be a hobby I strongly enjoy, but not necessarily pursue in a professional way. From my existing knowledge, DJing would be my top selection as it involves so much creativity. You can have fun whilst remixing your favourite tracks whilst also in an uplifting, positive environment (parties, weddings).’
Music grows along with the generations, the more tech - nology develops, so does our music. Because of this, I asked Emma what she thought the future of music was ‘{I think} music will continue to become more and more repetitive due to the advancements in technology. more and more music will be entirely produced from computer software and programmes rather than actual instruments which initially gave music its authenticity.’ So what is the real thing that keeps the music world turning? Is it the inspiration from legends who paved the way, or is it the rise of new-age music? That’s the real question here and Emma sums it up when she says, “Nowadays, I think social me - dia makes a massive contribution to how music is evolving. Being so accessible in our society today, others can easily gain ideas from others and elaborate on them to create more tracks. other platforms like youtube and tiktok for example also give average people the opportunity to become noticed and gain publicity where new artists are then introduced into the industry. This couldn’t have occurred previously when these plat - forms didn’t exist as people had to get big purely off selling their singles and receiving popularity. as a result, it’s a lot easier now especially with shows such as x factor which additionally gives everyone a shot in this position.’
