Hello!
You're welcome of course! I would love to help you.
Are you looking for contacts in U.K? or other countries too?
I will PM you some contact details of some music producers I've spoken with before.
These people are very serious about their work in the music industry
.
Hmm, IT role in music business, let me think. Do you mean mastering a song on the computer? Making backing tracks,beats,compositions? FL studio 9 is a very popular one,here. Ableton Live / Suite is a nice program too. You could try one of these? Professionals prefer FL studio, but ableton live is more detailed, if you just begin.
You could also promote artists, working in the marketing section, a lot of artists would be happy to be promoted, and you can also get money for it.
You can work as a web-developer, for bands,singers,and so on.
So many options really.... I will PM you some contacts, so you can write them, I will introduce them to you as well.
