Music is a billion dollars business, but we know it’s difficult to navigate when starting out. Many times we see the oohs and ahhs of the industry from afar and ponder how to land the sold out tour, big record deal, or viral video. In this session, we break it down in pure DIY fashion on how to approach your year and earn at least $50,000 so you can get your parents off your back about getting a real job. The session includes everything from domestic and international touring, radio, film and tv licensing, consulting, marketing and more. This is the perfect last day session for people on the artist side to upcoming music managers and marketers of the world.
