Anyone now can write and release a song, and once you've released it, there's very little money to be made from publishing income. In the digital age, being a creator is tough. So what's the point? In this episode we talk to Kojo Samuel, songwriter, composer, producer and Musical Director for artists such as Stormzy, Jess Glynn and Rita Ora. As well as Stormzy's famous Glastonbury performance, he discusses the importance of diversifying and nurturing a love of creating music, what ever form that takes.
