While there has been considerable progress in queer representation over the years, there is still much work to be done. Join us for a conversation with Queer Capita, a professional networking and community organization for LQBTQ+ professionals working in the music industry. Our speakers are leaders at Vevo, The Orchard/Sony, and Meta, and have worked with artists like Giveon, Madison Beer, Tems, Cautious Clay, & more!

Marketing is an essential skill in the music industry. In order to get one’s music to reach their desired audience, it is necessary to have good marketing campaigns that are suitable to an artist’s personal styles, as well as the needs of the target marketing; however, many artists don’t know where to start when it comes to marketing their music.

One of the core essentials of being established as an independent artist is having good marketing campaigns for your music. People stress the importance of good marketing but a lot of artists don't know what that truly means or looks like.

That's why this weekend we'll be joined by artist marketing experts Blair Maclin and Naoto Wakabayashi who have worked with artists like Jorja Smith, Cardi B, Roddy Rich and more!

We’ll be discussing the role and process of marketing music and how you can do it yourself. We'll also discuss ways rising artists can create strategies for audiences to want to engage with them and their music more often.
