Yew Tree Music
The company began in 1996 in Hampshire, UK. At the time our founder was having difficultly finding a record company to work with. They all seemed to want something else. So he decided to start his own record company and find out what life was like on the other side of the fence.
Yew Tree Music was formed. Our founder has a wealth of experience working as a producer and engineer and for a time ran his own studio. He has written and presented a songwriting course for a Sussex based Adult Education Centre. He also taught guitar for the same organization.
All in all not a bad life if you can keep up the pace!
He knew all the nuts and bolts of music but not the music business. It turns out that the music business has very little to do with music. A while ago it was mostly about networking, traveling to MIDEM , meeting people and exchanging CD’s with distributors, hoping to clinch a distribution deal.
