Artist Career Coaching: Independence and Financial Literacy

Description:

As more models and tools emerge for musical artists to establish independent careers, beyond the confines of traditional label contracts that fail to serve the majority of today’s talent, it is of timely importance that artists become informed of what a business plan for their career may look like. This panel will feature hip hop artist J. Monty and representatives from music financing platform RoyFi to walk the audience through the essential steps of a business plan, from financing to fan relations and maximizing streams, to make a sustainable career a reality.
