What Do Other Artists Have to Say About Backstage?

"Learning through the workshop was really empowering."

The Naked Eye - Singer Songwriter

"I get 80% of my industry knowledge from Somewhere Soul."

Amalie Bryde - Singer Songwriter & Producer

"£5 a month for the backstage community and all the workshops is ridiculous!"

Sofia Siafa - Music Management Assistant

"Josh genuinely believes in artists and puts artists first."

Cherise - Singer Songwriter

"The work that Somewhere Soul puts in to helping and providing upcoming and independent artists all the resources and support they need is second to none. Backstage is the epitome of that; a one stop place to get all the information, resources and support an artist would need to release their music and help grow their following." - Tom Pickford, DeepMatter record label owner
Meet the Founder

Hey, I'm Josh 👋  Artist manager, record label A&R, DJ, digital marketer and founder of Somewhere Soul.

I launched Somewhere Soul 6 years ago as a music blog, however the more I learnt about the industry, the more frustrated I become about the lack of support for independent artists. 😤

So, through my experience working for a marketing agency and a record label, I started posting educational content about music marketing and music business on the Somewhere Soul Instagram page.

The response I got from artists showed me how much this stuff was really needed so I decided to create a super affordable Backstage community that could act as a support network for artists looking to advance in the industry.
"If you’re an artist or work within the music industry, you don’t have to, YOU MUST become a part of the Somewhere Soul family" - Sofia Siafa, Music Management Assistant
