International Music Creators+ Collaborators Workshop

IMCCW is now accepting applications! We are thrilled to announce the second year of our workshop for early-career and emerging artists. Applications and e-auditions are due by April 1st. Please help us spread the word! More information can be found at imccw.org

Today at the New England Conservatory, Jason and I will discuss the business of making albums in 2024, covering practical approaches for emerging artists on how to get started (and maybe more importantly, how to keep going…!). We’ll also explore the pros and cons of various models in today’s record business to help artists make informed decisions about their own paths. Don’t miss it!
