    Students at Cronton Sixth Form were given a revealing insight into the music industry with a talk from Matt Parsons, CEO of Ditto Music, the world’s largest independent artist and record label services company.
    Matt co-founded Ditto Music in 2005 with his brother Lee after years of playing in bands. Initially working from a bedroom, Ditto Music now has offices in the UK, USA, Australia and Sweden, and continues to expand. The company has achieved 20 UK Top 40 hits with independent artists and helped launch the careers of acts including Stormzy, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith. They are currently home to 150,000 artists and 17,000 labels.

    Following the talk, Matt left his contact details for any students who needed advice on their next career steps.
    Matt commented, “When I was starting out the business, I had no help or advice to guide me in the right direction. I feel talks like today are very important and a great opportunity to give students someone they can turn to when in need of advice.”
