Alexandra Knight: Navigating the Music Business with Honesty and Hustle
Manage episode 492007955 series 3566491
In this episode of Classeek 15', host Jack Pepper sits down with Alexandra Knight, founder of Knight Classical and a leading artist manager who became a director at ICA by the age of just 28. With a background that spans top agencies, prestigious orchestras, and a formative education at Oxford, Alexandra brings a sharp and honest perspective to the real-life challenges of building a career in classical music—both as a performer and behind the scenes.
She shares candid insights into what artists often struggle with most, from securing concerts to staying visible in a crowded industry. Alexandra breaks down the balance between artist and agent, the non-negotiable role of digital presence, and why understanding the music business—not just the music profession—is now essential. Her advice is clear: success today requires a proactive mindset, creative storytelling, and a willingness to embrace the less glamorous side of career-building.
