If you’re only interested in discovering the best new bands (and we wouldn’t blame you), please don't feel obligated to read this post. However, if you’re interested in working in the music industry, this might be just the thing for you!
A NEW
GENERATION OF MUSIC PROFESSIONALS
As you
might know, other than just a cool festival, Left of the Dial has always aimed
to be a steppingstone for emerging artists. But, a while back we started
thinking that we should also be a stepping stone for people who want to work
behind the scenes. If we can somehow help develop a new generation of honest
and hardworking music professionals, it would benefit all future artists.
So, this year our music conference is specifically for people who are trying to make their way in the music industry. Probably not you, but we figured it wouldn’t hurt to let you know what we’re up to!
ASK ME
ANYTHING SESSIONS
The Left of
the Dial music conference will consist of a series of conversations between one
music professional and two or three conference attendees. In 20 minutes, the
aspiring pros get to ask the seasoned pro anything they want to know about
their job—whether it requires a specific set of skills, what their day-to-day
responsibilities are, and probably most importantly, how they managed to get
that job.
The AMAs will be held on Thursday, before the official start of Left of the Dial, with 50 music professionals present to answer the burning questions of about 150 students.
