Music Matters is donating HK$200,000 in tickets to 50 artists to attend the Music Matters conference in Hong Kong in June.
The company is working with alivenotdead.com and ALIVE to encourage artists to gain more exposure by mixing with industry leaders during the event.“Music Matters is the only industry event of its kind in Asia Pacific and we want to support the region’s creative community” says Jasper Donat, Music Matters President and co-Founder of Hong Kong based Branded Limited. “Musicians just don’t get the opportunity to meet so many business leaders in one place at one time. Our prices are very reasonable in relation to global music conferences in other parts of the world. However, in many case artists can’t afford the registration price so we’re delighted to be able to do this. Having so many musicians there will also really add to the content and makeup of the event. Not only will they gain tremendous exposure whilst learning valuable industry insights but who knows, maybe one or two will get picked up by a record label, artist manager or agent!”
Alivenotdead.com has a community of 1,200 artists and 420,000 registered users and will utilise the forum to distribute the opportunity to independent artists.
alivenotdead.com’s CEO, Patrick Lee says, “We are very grateful to Music Matters for providing our artist community with this amazing offer. It will be a great opportunity for the artists on our site to meet with music industry leaders and gain contacts that will hopefully prove valuable to their careers down the road.”
Music Matters will take place in Hong Kong from June 2-4.
Music Industry executives from all around the world attend Music Matters, which is especially attractive to the Australian industry because of its proximity to the region and time-zone compatibility.
The program will focus on the current trends in the music industry with a strong focus this year on Mobile Music and the social networking phenomenon.
