Discovery

Streaming services, big data and social media have transformed music discovery. What is the future of artist discovery and what are the tools artists can use to "be discovered."

Music Business

Navegating the new music landscape by effectively monetize your music, brand and more. Put your music to work with publishing and licensing deals, but make sure you know your rights first.

Multi-Media

DIY

Manage the music industry on your own. The tools and resources for artists to successfully navigate the music industry are readily available. Do more for yourself, by yourself.

Marketing & Engagement

Artists are a brand and require a marketing strategy. In some respects, connecting with fans and building a community has never been easier, but many challenges still exist. Where, when and how artists reach fans is changing at the speed of technology.

Shows, Touring & Festivals

Where the rubber meets the road. Live performances are not just about selling tickets, but an opportunity to be creative, connect with fans, generate revenue and engage brands.

Social Impact

It's bigger than Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop has always been an engine for social change, but how can we effectively use art, music and hip-hop culture as an instrument for social justice and civic engagement. Less moments, more movements.

Making Music & Pro-Audio

Studios, pro-tools, MPCs, instruments and apps. How and where we make music and collaborate is forever changing. Technology is enabling creativity on-the-go, simplifying collaboration and reinventing discovery. Are you using the latest tools available or sticking to the basics?
