CMU founder Chris Cooke leads an exploration of ‘The Music Industry: A Blueprint. The Industry for Me and Where Do I Fit?’ with Jade Richardson (A&R Manager Virgin EMI Records), Mike Malak (Booking Agent, Coda), and Phil Kemish (Disrupt LDN).

The myth-busting session will discuss the breadth of roles and opportunities available and where the money is. Find out about the different ways artists generate revenue from their music, and the different business partners they work with, including record labels, music publishers, promoters, agents, merchandisers and collecting societies.
