How to make more than a successful living as a musician with Peter Northcote Part One

Arguably the most recorded guitarist in Australian history.

Turn on the TV and he plays on 90% of the ads you see and hear.

Pick your favourite show and there’s a good chance he’s played guitar or written the music.

As an aspiring musician, Pete started doing session work in 1985. He was told by many other session musicians “you’ll get 2 to 4 good years as a session musician”. Well that was 1985 and he is still the busiest session musician in Australia today.

In this video Peter discusses what it takes to make a career within the music industry, and the diversity of career opportunities that are available.
