Sounds Like These by ICMP London

Lara chats with Sean Adams, a music journalist, artist manager, social media producer (and much else) known to many as the founder of Drowned In Sound and the digital strategy & music consultancy CCCLX Music.

Show Notes

Sean Adams started out as a music journalist, launching a newsletter back in the late 90s, which then became Drowned In Sound, a pillar when it comes to online music magazines. Sean has also delved into artist management (for the likes of Ed Harcourt and The Anchoress), social media production (for BBC Radio 6), and has more recently launched his 360° creative consultancy CCCLX Music.

In the interview, Sean goes back to his very first steps in the industry - from starting a newsletter back when email was a new thing, to releasing music by artists such as Kaiser Chiefs and Marta Wainwright, to working for the BBC as a social media manager and producer, contributing to shifting towards a more inclusive conversation about the music industry. Sean's passion for music really is the denominator of his career and what still drives him to reinvent himself and his work, always keeping artists' interest at the centre of it all.
