S2E16 - Fake It Till You Make It: How Mikey Rainsford Built a Multi-Service Wedding Brand

In this episode of The Full-Time Function Musician Podcast, I sit down with singer-songwriter and guitarist Mikey Rainsford to explore his journey from original bands to becoming a full-time working musician. Mikey shares how he built his business, Blackbird Weddings, combining music, wedding videography, and design. We dive into the struggles of the industry, building a brand from scratch, how Instagram drives his leads, and the power of personality in business. Expect laughs, chaos, and practical advice—from being toppled by a wedding guest to making money writing songs for strangers.
