Why we're crowdfunding: Creating stable jobs for musicians like Lynsey
Musiversal is the first company to make "Session Musician" an official job title and it's our privilege to have such world-class musicians dedicate their time and talents to helping music creators make better music around the world 🌎
But what does this newfound stability mean for hard-working, talented musicians like Lynsey? Click here to read the full story 🎵
Hi, my name is Lynsey, I’m a UK-based singer at Musiversal. I am a session singer, a songwriter and a singing teacher. I live near Cambridge with my husband and daughter. 🎤
I joined Musiversal in August 2021. I have completed over 150 sessions so far, working over two evenings a week. 📆
In this blog post I’ll explain my journey so far with Musiversal. 😊
Musiversal and me
I first heard about Musiversal from a fellow singer I know from an online session platform. He was already working with Musiversal and told me how happy he was with the relationships he had developed, and how the company and business model worked.
It sounded very interesting, so he put me in touch with Musiversal which led to the audition process starting. The auditions were challenging but also very reassuring. The thoroughness and professionalism I came across – as well as the musical challenge – assured me that this would be an excellent opportunity.
Of course, the possibility of a stable, regular income was a big appeal. But, more than that, the prospect of interesting work, in a way I had not done before (totally live?!) made it seem like a no-brainer! Looking back, the audition process was tough, and it was a real boost to be offered a role at Musiversal, knowing that they obviously do not take on everyone they audition. I felt that my skills and talents were recognised.
Having a stable job as a musician
Musiversal have given me the flexibility to balance the other parts of my work life and my home life. I do two evenings a week, sometimes more in the school holidays. It’s great because I can pick my daughter up from school, spend time with her, have a family meal and then head into the booth to work. The consistent schedule of work and income is fantastic. Something regular and guaranteed makes a big difference to musicians who have spent whole careers with varying incomes.
Musiversal’s culture
I have found everyone at Musiversal to be really professional but also down to earth and friendly. They are always on hand to help with any issues and communication is first class. I feel supported and valued which feeds into working with clients who have fed back how happy they have been with the service we have delivered.
In this era of work-from-home, I was delighted to actually meet some of the Musiversal team when they came to my home to shoot a video about the company. This was a fun experience and it was great to put a face to names. ⤵️
Musiversal’s role in the music industry
Musiversal could and should be massive for the music industry. It seems Musiversal have come up with a new way to make the most of technological advances and remote working, to produce a superb service for clients and a vastly improved way of working for musicians.
Musiversal has everything going for it to change the face of this part of the music industry. I look forward to continuing to play my part in the ongoing success of the company. I’d recommend having a look, get involved!
