In order to build equity – whether financial or figurative – professionals and artists in the music business need to understand and believe that their biggest asset is in fact who they are as a person and the various things that make them great. The music business is complex in that it’s often said to be more of a lifestyle than it is a job. Every day (and sometimes every second), we are reminded of our role within the industry and how it molds our identity and our future. But what about our personal identities and our own long-term goals? Aren’t we more than just the companies we tag in our social bios and the artists we work with and for? Does our love of music get in the way of celebrating the other important parts of our life? Join us for a non-traditional panel as we dive into what it means to be a human being, both in and out of the industry, and try to separate our panelists from their music business identities. The real question: Is that even possible? The pandemic forced us to reflect, adapt, and evolve – how does this topic play into the conversation?
Part of the #NEXTGEN_NOW panel series sponsored by DistroKid and Spotify The music business is witnessing a revolution – one where personal equity takes precedent within a generation that values impact over anything else. Join us as we explore critical conversations with young forward-thinking industry influencers set to detail their unique journeys to the top of the music biz and prove age does not always equal authority. The next generation is not next – it’s now.
