15TH OCTOBER – The Song: The Route to Market (SEMINAR)

Your Song: The Route to Market – And How It’s Changed
For many artists, traditionally the record deal was the big deal. But with the shift to DIY and streaming, artists now release their own recordings long before a record label gets on board. So, what options are now available to artists outside of the record deal? Are record deals still necessary? We explore new distribution options and ways for artists to take their music to market and nurture a lasting audience.

Join Callum Hay (Ditto, Head Of Label Services, UK) & Danny Desai (un:hurd, Agency Lead). Host + more guest speakers to be announced!

19th November – Supporting Queer Black Artists in Music (seminar)

This panel explores the challenges faced by queer artists within the Black music industry and examines if the space is truly evolving. We’ll discuss how creatives, supporters and the wider industry can advocate and show meaningful allyship, while spotlighting change-makers and initiatives driving inclusion, diversity and culture shifts.

Join host Laura ‘Hyperfrank’ Brosnan and guests Reptile B (artist), Hattie Collins (Proud Radio), Travis Li (ARTIST MANAGER, SOUNDAR) and Cheza lucina (FOUNDER, bumpah) for what promises to be an insightful conversation.

10TH DECEMBER – ON A LEVEL LIVE WITH JOSEPH ‘JP’ PATTERSON (IN CONVERSATION)

A sit-down interview series brought to you by Complex UK, sees Editor-in-Chief, Joseph ‘JP’ Patterson, get real with some of the greatest music talents.
