Ep 008 - Magugu

Pidgin rap pioneer Magugu shares his hard-earned wisdom on building a sustainable, full-time music career while remaining fully independent.

Recorded at B-Side Radio [https://thebeaumontstudios.com/bside-radio/] Special thanks to Brock Shillington [https://substack.com/profile/110562695-brock-shillington] of Tofino Tea Party [https://www.instagram.com/tofinoteaparty/?hl=en], Jamal, Dom and of course, Magugu. **************** ATTN 🎙️ ISO a monthly podcast co-producer Seeking a producer-in-crime for Backstage Cash, where we cut to the chase about how artists are actually making it work. I’m looking for someone who: * Is passionate about independent music, underground arts, and alternative scenes * Has some audio or podcast production experience (or is a fast learner) * Can handle editing, uploading, and basic episode management * Wants to be part of something meaningful and community-driven ATM it’s a one-episode-per-month, grassroots, no-budget operation — but I hope to bring in local sponsors, and open to sharing monetization as we grow. The biggest thing is whether this feels like a project you can really get behind. Hit me up via email with a little bit about yourself, what skills you’d bring to the table, and why you think we’d gel. Big love always, CP Get full access to Crystal Precious: Adventures in SASS at crystalprecious.substack.com/subscribe [https://crystalprecious.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]
