Music2Deal: Many artists believe that streaming is everything these days. Why is radio still so important for promotion? Maurits Dofferhoff: Streaming is incredibly powerful, but radio remains a crucial factor in music promotion. It provides credibility, reaches a broad audience, and exposes tracks in places where streaming alone might not reach. We’ve seen that radio airplay directly impacts streaming numbers and helps tracks go viral. Many big hits still start on radio before they explode .....

Richard Roger: I did think there might be the opportunity there to do both of those. Please both sets of fans. Kamrad: I think if you make an album of like 12 singles it gets boring. You need two great ones and maybe 10 okay ones and I think there's nothing worse than just an okay single. You need a really great pop song or an indie song. Do you know we do a blues song live? It has a long guitar solo. This is really unexpected for people, it has a long guitar solo and people that hear my songs on the radio would not expect that. It's a really cool moment in the set. RR: the line ‘I'd rather fall asleep than fall in love’ will I believe (excuse the pun) go down as one of the iconic song lyrics of the 2020s decade. When you were growing up, what were the sort of lyrics and artists that you were really into, those that really inspired you? K: well, you wouldn't expect it but in fact, I grew up with the Beatles so the Beatles. That was the first thing that was music for me maybe for like 5, maybe 10 years of me growing up. RR: through your parents? K: yeah through my dad. So I know every lyric and every song but as time moved on, I got more into the current pop music, so I feel that someone like Ed Sheeran was an artist that …

Writers working with other writers, collaborations etc. Kamrad: it makes a lot of sense actually, I get it. It is (music) after all the most consumed thing in the world after food, I believe. You can obviously connect to a lot of people. different people in different cities and it’s hard to reach them so if you have a platform and a global connection then I think it’s really good.

RR: actually from Music2deal I worked with a band from Munster in the north of Germany. Well, Emsdetten actually. K: I’ve not actually been there but I’ve heard about it on the radio. Particularly when they talk about the traffic and at some point they say Emsdetten. Laughs.

Like I have one A&R Annie, the main A&R (at the record company), but we’re working with .....
