11:45 am Opening Remarks

12:00 - 12:45 PM - RELEASE STRATEGIES: Old School vs. New Wave

The conversation is not a new one. New wave artists versus old-school heads. Has this cultural divide helped or hindered hip-hop? How has it changed the business strategies of a breakout artist? How has internet and social media changed the game for artists new and old? Is there any clear cut path to success anymore? We discuss traditional roads to success and if they even matter in a world that has changed so much in the past few years.

Income and revenue generation is one of an artists biggest concerns. Sometimes it is a matter of collecting every penny you can in royalties, sometimes it’s about booking your own shows, sometimes it is about writing a marketing plan and applying for grants. In this panel we discuss income from the perspective of an artist, a royalty agency, business manager and a consultant. Which methods are you currently doing and which are you missing out on?
