Geoffrey John Davies: Building a Classical Media Empire from the Living Room Floor
Manage episode 492007956 series 3566491
In this episode of Classeek 15', host Jack Pepper sits down with Geoffrey John Davies, the founder, CEO, and Editor-in-Chief of The Violin Channel, the world’s leading classical music news platform. What began as a spontaneous upload from a living room in Brisbane has evolved into a New York–based hub reaching over 2 million viewers per month, with 17 musicians on staff and major collaborators like Carnegie Hall and the New York Philharmonic.
Geoffrey shares the remarkable story of turning a social media hobby into a full-scale business, including how he took the leap to New York with just a year’s savings, built a loyal advertiser base, and navigated early industry resistance. From staying true to your essence as an artist to treating your career like a brand, his advice offers a candid look at both the risks and rewards of forging your own path in the classical world.
