The Citizen Updates Podcast: REC Philly

The music incubator has a new membership model and a new hub at Mode Commune. We talk to co-founder Will Toms well-nigh the future of creative work in Philly and across.

Jan. 07, 2020

In December 2015, Will Toms and Dave Silver—at the ripe ages of 24—had already become fixtures in Philly'southward music scene, having booked some 200-plus shows of up-and-coming bands at venues effectually the city through their Broad Street Music Group.

That's when they decided to get out of the promotion business to launch REC Philly within a former North Philly window manufactory. Through this venture, they focus on providing musicians access to recording infinite, a visual arts lab and a creative writing lab, every bit well as tools they didn't fifty-fifty know they needed, like talent coaches and legal services.

The goal was to create a community around a collective of musicians who all wanted the same thing: to grow their business every bit creatives.

A few months later, when The Citizen checked dorsum in, Toms and Silver were still riding the high from their showcase at S by Southwest in Austin, Texas, and had launched their first membership-based program for local musicians.

Now, REC Philly is starting the new decade with a new headquarters—in the Fashion District—and have reinvented their membership model. Unlike a traditional record characterization, artists at REC Philly retain buying of their fine art and business while paying a monthly fee based on a advisedly tailored suite of products and services. The system has started accepting applications from local organizations and businesses, too as artists looking to be a role of the REC Philly community.

We sabbatum down with Volition Toms to talk about how the business has changed alongside the music industry, and what that means for Philly creatives.
