I’m Andrew Dubber — a New Zealander living in the UK.
Lecturer, author, speaker, broadcaster, music enthusiast, haver-of-ideas.

First, I should say ‘I am not my job’ — but it’s also worth pointing out that a lot of the things I love to do are closely related to what I do for a living. So perhaps, in a sense, I am my job. My background is in radio and the music business and my foreground is in hanging out with interesting people and enjoying life.

Before moving to the UK in 2004, I was the Degree Leader in Radio at Auckland University of Technology and the host of a jazz radio programme on George FM.

This is what I do here
These days, I’m employed as the Degree Leader in Music Industries at Birmingham City University. I teach a range of topics to do with music, radio and new media, and I’m involved in a number of research and knowledge transfer projects through the university.

I run a website called New Music Strategies, where I discuss new and online strategies for music business. I also dabble in a bit of music production, I DJ occasionally, talk on the radio, and pretty much just generally get involved with things that interest me whenever possible.
