Former Point Blank student Peter van Dongen is the label manager for Brighton-based independent record label Shogun Audio, as well as one half of emerging drum & bass duo Deadline. Since graduating from the Music Production, DJ, Sound Engineering and Music Business course in 2014, Peter has progressively moved through the ranks within the music industry - from starting as an intern at Shogun to recently being appointed label manager, becoming a multi-million streaming artist, and setting up his own events company Arcane Culture promoting the likes of Chase & Status, Sub Focus and many more.
In this masterclass, Peter will share his experience of being at the School and the journey that followed soon after from being a student to label manager - highlighting the many lessons learned along the way including the things he wish he knew from the very beginning, actionable advice for artists seeking success in the present day music industry and the importance of approaching a music career with an entrepreneurial mindset.
This masterclass is recommended for all students who would like insight into working inside the industry and developing a career as an artist. This session is pivotal for anyone who is on their journey to progress up the ladder in the music industry.
