Hi, I'm Damian 👋 I started my career as a bass tutor at The Academy of Contemporary Music back in 1997 (probably a Wednesday). Then 4 years later, myself and some amazing friends set up BIMM (The British and Irish Institute of Modern Music), which is now the largest set of music colleges in the world! I launched this channel to help artists like you build your career in the music industry - whether that is releasing and promoting music or finding opportunities as a musician. We are in this together! If you're needing a little extra support, my online academy (DK Music Business Academy) teaches you how to have a long term career as an artist, musician or band, through building your socials and learning to monetise your music. You can find out more about me below, or join me at my Music Business Academy here: www.dk-mba.com (there's a 7-day FREE trial to try it out)... ''You're only one song away from everyone acting like they believed in you''

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
