EvENT SUMMARY
​

On Wednesday April 10th 2019, LiveThe.Biz (America's Leading Music Industry Education Platform) is having our MEGA NYC Master Course Panel and Networking Summit called "HOW TO EARN MONEY FROM YOUR SONGS IN TV AND FILMS"! This event is designed for all indie musicians, songwriters and music producers looking to learn about how to generate revenue from music licensing and publishing royalties!

 

Have you ever wondered how you can license your music, songs and instrumentals to hit TV shows, blockbuster movies, commercials and video games for additional income? Or have you thought about being the person who makes these creative music licensing decisions while working for a record label, music publisher, TV network or film company? Or maybe you're considering starting your own music licensing firm or helping artists that you work with receive these opportunities?

 

Join us on Wednesday April 10th as we answer all of these questions and more with our expert panel of incredible speakers from UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP, RCA, INDIGI MUSIC, BMG and CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING! These panelists will give insider tips on how independent musicians can better monetize their music and gain even more exposure through music licensing and synch placements! They will also share their individual journeys, offer motivation, answer direct questions from the audience and will be there to network with all guests that attend! This will also be a great opportunity to network with your peers and fellow creatives in the music community!

​

​

Discussion Topics designed for musicians & aspiring executives will include (but not limited to): 

​​

  • How can independent artists, songwriters or music producers effectively pitch and license their music for TV shows, Commercials, Films and Games?

​

  • What is music licensing and why is it an important factor to a musician's career?

​

  • What is a Music Supervisor and how do they decide on which music they want to use for their projects?
