How It Works
SIGN UP HERE
To add your face to our 2016 poster you must sign up and the difference begins. While the registration is fast and easy it is extensive. The questions we ask are the ones that industry professionals will be judging you on. Don’t let all the business questions scare you because artists will be selected based on their music more than anything else.
INDUSTRY SHOWCASES
Each artist will take the Showcase Stage and perform for 10-15 minutes. Thats right the industry makes up it’s mind by the second song. Each performance will have a 24 track recording and multi camera shoot done to show everyone what you can do. The room holds 1,200 and the stage is big so be ready to fill it.
FESTIVAL STAGES
We will have additional stages where the most advanced Springboard Artists will perform. We are working on securing Mentor Bands (Headliners) to bring a crowd so all you will need to do is to show them how great you are. Meet your new fans and make them yours.
THE BOSE NAKED STAGE
No you will get to keep your clothes on but your singing and your song will be stripped down to almost nothing. One Song, One Instrument & One Microphone (Those are the rules) Bose will handle the PA so it will sound great the question is will you and your song? Why do we do this? Because when you do a radio tour that is exactly how you will be asked to perform.
ON CAMERA INTERVIEW
Thats right you must answers questions about you and your music under the hot lights with 3 cameras in your face. All of it is real and will be edited and put out into the world. You will need to show that you can keep your answers and your brand consistent. Don’t worry we will have both branding and media training panels at the conference.
THE BAND BOOTCAMP
Two intense days of panels and networking we call the Band Bootcamp and our motto is “Handle The Truth”. We will have experts on almost every subject from social media to touring telling you exactly how it really works. Yes there will be a test to see how much you’ve learned and how talented you are. During the Industry showcases we will have our own “Moment of Truth Stage” where you will play your recorded music for everyone from Music Supervisors to Radio Programmers and the pitch is real. Last year 8 artists got movie placements from our sessions.
MENTORING
One-on-one mentoring and small groups. Meet world class managers, agents and performance coaches. Play your songs for hit songwriters, publishers, and producers. Get a business card from powerful entertainment lawyers and business managers. Build yourself, your contacts and your team.
