Quote as to why you feel mentoring is vital:-

As a mentor you want to inspire, educate and provide a foot in the door for your mentee to burst through. As mentors we don’t know everything, but the chances are that over our years of working in the music industry, we know the right people and we can help build those bridges, make those connections and give every opportunity to those who will be the future of this business…and probably my boss one day!
