Industry help for musicians
FOR those in the music industry – just starting out, wanting to make a career out of music, or looking for new connections – an event in Cairns this weekend is a gateway to the heart of the music industry.
QMusic and Flame.Arts present the free QMUSIC & Cairns Music Industry Gathering at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre (CPAC) tomorrow and on Sunday.
Facilitated by Ant McKenna and Dan Rennie from QMusic and BIGSOUND, keynote speakers include Emily Holler (Mojobullet music marketing), Kriza Canzon (GYROStream), and Stu Field (OZTIX), as well as accomplished producers, content directors, and radio stations.
Attendees can expect engaging discussions on music marketing strategies, mastering and producing techniques, programming insights, grant funding opportunities, navigating the intricacies of touring and participation in music festivals, including the renowned BIGSOUND.
Audience members can gain insights, tips, and tricks from those who have paved the way in the industry and learn from their experiences.
