SALLY ANNE GROSS PhD: A&R, Management & Law

This week we are thrilled to share part 1 of our discussion with industry legend Dr Sally Anne Gross! Sally has had quite the varied career from being the first female A&R at Mercury Records, taking trips to San Fransisco to scout artists to running her own record label from her kitchen table and later studying for her Law Masters.We discuss the key differences that Sally found in her experiences in the DIY scene and at major labels. Her role as an Artist Manager; shifting records and remixes for dance acts and how the title and responsibilities have changed. Later Sally began studying Law at Birkbeck University night school, all whilst managing a career and a family, falling in love with the Law and deeper understanding the structures that influence it.Sally has such a wealth of experience and wonderful stories, we absolutely loved working on this episode!
