Interview: DIY Music

Interviews
Written by Michael W. Bell

I was recently contacted by Stu Smith over at DIY Music who kindly asked my if I would be interested in being interviewed and featured as part of his "DIY Muso Spotlight" on his community site which I of course accepted and the result can be read here...

I came to know Stu while working on a short film together some years ago... I required an EDM diagetic music track and was at a real loss at the time to find anything suitable. Stu kindly stepped in and saved my bacon by quickly producing a series of tracks with the film in mind allowing me to focus on the score. 

Since then, Stu has worked hard to create a community of producers and artists worldwide making music on a variety of budgets, I would seriously recommend following them of Facebook and Twitter as there is almost always useful content being posted and friendly conversation around it!
