Foxxglove

Self-promotion and cracking the music industry

Singer-songwriter Foxxglove has gone from strength to strength since graduating from the BA (Hons) Popular and Commercial Music course at USW. She's been selected for funding from BBC Horizons Launchpad and joined the lineup for Focus Wales in 2021.  

“Since graduating, I’ve been spending a lot of time on Foxxglove the artist, working on singles and new material and will be releasing a music video very soon. 

One of the best ways to promote yourself is through social media. So, post as much as possible, focusing on creating good content. 

Life as a USW student in Cardiff

“At the Cardiff campus, the facilities are amazing! You can rent studio space for free while studying at the same time. 

Networking at USW is fantastic – it’s a creative hub! 

It’s worth getting to know people and meeting as many as possible, especially since the music business is a people-driven industry. 

If you’re thinking of applying for the Music and Sound degree at USW, go for it! Take every opportunity that comes your way.”
