About
In this roundtable, acclaimed artist Ravish Momin will examine the current trends in the business of music, outlining strategies for developing creative business models to successfully adapt and compete in a quickly changing music-industry. While the focus will be mainly on the jazz industry, the topics and strategies will be easily applicable to other genres.
The focus will primarily be on entry-level and mid-career artists, and how they'll be able to effectively leverage social-media, the internet, DIY touring, and other means of self-promotion to meet their goals. Participants will gain insight into crucial aspects of managing finances, negotiating fees and contracts, and developing leadership skills. The roundtable Q&A format encourages conversation and allows participants to engage in additional topics such as collaborating with cross-discipline artists, creating music for TV/radio/internet advertisements, other creative ways to achieve financial sustainability as a full-time musician, and address issues pertaining to selling and distributing music digitally.
