Why subscribe to Music Is The Answer?
Consider your subscription as a big lovely nudge to say, “I love what you do and I believe in you, Marcus”.
It’s been four and a half years since MITA was launched and I have put a lot of myself into this newsletter. It’s a personal endeavour that encapsulates my love for music and the culture around it. Having people join me in this space and read my writing is a special experience. The additional financial support is the kind of positive validation a lot of us writers really need to feel acknowledged, seen and motivated to keep pushing on in an increasingly difficult creative field.
I think my efforts and insights are worth the subscription. I sincerely hope there are lots of you out there who agree. Thankyou. Subscribe here if you’re interested.
What’s this all about then?
Music Is The Answer was the name of the very first space I created to express my love for music, way back in the days of Blogspot. 15 years later, here I am using the same name for a newsletter which upholds a similar ethos to that blog, but informed by my experiences and work in music over the last 14 years. You can read more about this in my first newsletter.
Who am I?
Marcus “Golden” Barnes is my name. Hello and welcome!
I’ve been knee deep in music journalism since 2010, though these days I spend a lot more time on copywriting assignments for various companies and individuals.
I write and edit books. I also DJ and I paint, too.
Above all of my experience and abilities, I am a lifelong devotee of music in many of its forms.
Stay up-to-date
Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox but don’t worry, you won’t be bombarded. Expect fortnightly updates. This gives me time to prepare each newsletter and you readers the time to digest it all. Each one is created with intention of being absorbed over time, not all at once.
