Meet Gemma Downes

We were lucky to catch up with Gemma Downes recently and have shared our conversation below.

Gemma, thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?
keeping creativity alive just comes naturally and the ideas come around by popping in my head whilst bands/artist and social media play a massive part as they bring it to life. With new social platforms coming to light it gives me a spark to create to feature opportunities for the bands and artists.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Music of The Future is a music blog for bands and artist across the globe created for unsigned/ independently but as the has went on the client list grew and have featured some well known artist. Music Of The Future is blog that I created for mainly unsigned to give them at least one platform to share their music without a fee of the feature. I create new features all the time to keep it different for returning artists/bands.

We do have open submissions for for our
MusicOTFuture Global TV Presents On The Spooktacular Event – Submissions last day to submit 30th September.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
I would say my three important qualities would be strong work ethic, creativity and dedication.

The advice I would give to those starting out early in their journey would be to
– Be themselves always dont allow someone or a company to change you because they need you more than you need them. Your happiness comes first.

-Always believe in yourself – Your gut instinct is always right.

– Take every opportunity because some opportunities dont come round twice.

Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?
The ideal client for Music Of The Future are bands/artists and Music Industry professionals.

We have features for all and the ideal client we dont have one we accept submissions from all genres.
