Bredenkamp: I live in Cape Town, play in Cape Town and London and work in Joburg, Durban and Cape Town.
Bredenkamp: I talk to a million people on the radio every day... the rest of the time I talk to myself! I also own an entertainment company - IBMedia - with a client base that includes some of the biggest names in music, including Just Jinjer, Kahn Morbee from the Parlotones and Daniel Baron. The concerts we've worked on include Tori Amos, Mike + The Mechanics, Alison Moyet, and many more.
Bredenkamp: I'd always wanted to work in the music industry. I started on campus radio in Stellenbosch at Matie FM. I've subsequently worked on Bush Radio, RMR in Grahamstown, Radio C-Flat, P4/Heart, KFM, 702 Talk Radio and Cape Talk. My radio experience includes on-the-air as well as programming management and has also seen me work on the LeadSA and Eyewitness News brands. Just over 18 months ago, I opened my entertainment publicity business, IBMedia. We operate nationally, with staff in Joburg and Cape Town.
Bredenkamp: Nothing beats a great song, especially when it sneaks up on you on the radio or on your iTunes playlist. I love the sun, my family, fast cars, kayaking in Table Bay and travelling abroad - the more exotic, the better.
Bredenkamp: I love that people can make money from being creative. There's also something special in making people feel good for a living. Some people's jobs are crap - their interactions with their customers are painful and tiring. My industry is a pick-me-up.
Bredenkamp: My industry is similar to False Bay: it's littered with sharks!
Bredenkamp: I'm up at 4am, and I track which songs have been playlisted by my clients, set up TV and online/print interviews. Then from 9am to midday I'm on the radio, doing the 9am to midday show on KFM. Thereafter, I'm back at the IBMedia offices working on clients and concerts until 7pm. The days are long, but I'm happy doing what I do.
Bredenkamp: My MacBook and my ears.
Bredenkamp: Independent artists writing catchy radio hits and radio presenters who sound like humans instead of sounding like corny DJs.
Bredenkamp: The new Kahn Morbee EP - he's the frontman of the Parlotones and has released a solo project. About 15 other songs and shows. Recently, my company ran the social media for the Kings of Chaos concert tour, which featured Steven Tyler from Aerosmith and more. We've also just launched a talent-booking division for media personalities, musicians and film stars.
Bredenkamp: My most used phrase is: "Nothing matters more than a great hook in your song." Other buzzwords and phrases that float around include "Is it in their contract?", "Can you make it go louder?" and "Please, for God's sake, will you make sure they are on-time, please!"
Bredenkamp: Normally at the most inconvenient times, while watching TV or at the gym!
Bredenkamp: Play me any song and I'll tell you the year in which it was released - ANY song.
Bredenkamp: Very much a technophile. Very, very much.
Bredenkamp: My guitar tab app (I'm learning to play), a pregnancy app (My wife is pregnant and I'm tracking the trimesters online) and, hopefully, a good selection of music on my playlist.
Bredenkamp: Build good connections and use the incredible power of social media to your advantage - it's an amazing networking tool, when used appropriately.
Bredenkamp: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube: @IanBredenkamp and @IBMediaSA and my damn cool new website: www.ibmediaentertainment.com.
