The music business has and continues to fundamentally change.

With fascinating trends over just the last 12 months: Billions are being spent on catalogue acquisitions; there has been a surge in revenue growth opportunities in spaces such as NFTs/metaverse; artists continue to find new ways to ‘break out’, such as through branding and social media platforms like TikTok; and, to top it all off, some superstar artists are pulling their catalogues from streaming platforms, which highlights the complex web of rights and rightsholders within the music business.  

Join this panel of experienced entertainment lawyers and managers for a discussion on these wide-ranging topics, which all share a common theme: ‘the game has and continues to change’.

We’re often so scared to make mistakes or “do it wrong” that we end up doing nothing at all – this panel is for those who want to do better and be part of the change, but don’t know where to start.

While we sometimes need to have uncomfortable conversations to learn and grow, discussions on diversity and allyship are often just “preaching to the choir” – we need allies to step up; particularly people who have not experienced discrimination. So this is a rare case in 2022 where it’s ok for a panel to be full of white guys – men from across the music industry who will share how they learned about the need for allyship, and what practical actions they take to ensure safe and diverse work environments for all.

Moderated by Vanessa Vakharia of Goodnight Sunrise (and her bandmate/ally David Kochberg), this panel will be a casual, non-judgmental, practical discussion of small- and large-scale things everyone can do to make every single person in the music industry feel like they truly belong. A range of panelists will share how allyship plays a large role in their corner of the industry, and how they make sure their spaces and events are truly welcoming and inclusive!

Supporting the business of music is essential so our industry can get back to doing what they do best: creating exponential economic, social and cultural impact for artists, communities and tourism.

With the support of the Province of Ontario, the Canadian Live Music Association (CLMA) and Music Canada are working to bridge the gap to bring the music sector out of the pandemic, and to create an effective route for economic recovery for towns and cities across the province. Panelists with expertise from a cross section of the music sector will explore initiatives and recommendations during this panel.

Short form video platforms like TikTok, Triller, IG Reels and more have become the new music discovery ecosystems for A&R’s, managers, and labels.

They are crucial for new artists looking to be heard. In these worlds, content is king and catchy tracks with that indescribable hook can go viral overnight. In many ways, the playing field has been leveled. In this discussion we’ll dissect how artists can be leveraging these platforms to gain followers and traction and even connect with industry gatekeepers. Our speakers have been behind some of the most successful breakout stars of the last few years and will share their expertise on launching and discovering talent through short form video channels.

Keep moving or sink. What works for sharks works for songwriters.

Edmonton’s Stereos burned into our consciousness in 2009 with their top-5 chart hit Summer Girl. Since then, smartphones became universal, the political landscape shook and streaming became the global listening and viewing mode. And multi-platinum, Juno-winning songwriter Patrick Kordyback rode every wave as the band sailed through the next decade.

In this Q&A with veteran entertainment reporter Rudy Blair, Kordyback talks about adapting to a DIY era, writing hits on GarageBand, switching from the “jam” approach to solo songwriting, listening to and co-writing with other artists to widen his creative palette, and – most importantly – shedding the notion that there is only one way to do anything.

If ever someone deserved to have his name permanently engraved, it’s the man who inspired CMW’s annual Nile Rodgers Creators Award.

Rodgers is both a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, a producer, songwriter, musician, composer, arranger, and guitarist who has worked with Jagger, Bowie, Madonna and Daft Punk, on records with more than a half-billion sales.

Award honouree, superstar producer Timbaland, is a connector of great artists. From JAY-Z to Justin Timberlake to Sam Smith to Missy Elliott to Beyoncé, the man with the unique beats has influenced music like few others. Imagine a world without JAY-Z’s Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life or Justin Timberlake’s newly notorious “Britney break-up” song Cry Me A River. He even connects corporately, creating Mosley Music Group with L.A. Reid and teaming that up with Def Jam. His latest entrepreneurial enterprise is the sponsor of this Exclusive event, BEATCLUB.

Hipgnosis Fund founder & legendary Music Industry Game Changer, Merck Mercuriadis hosts this exclusive in-depth interview with the two superstar hit-maker producers. At the end of this amazing experience, Nile will present Timbaland his namesake CMW 7th annual Nile Rodgers Global Creators Award.

USING DATA TO ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF A&R’S

Che Pope, legendary record producer and Head of Upstream at DistroKid, knows all how important streaming and sales data is when it comes to growing your career as an indie artist and getting signed. That’s why just earlier this year, Che joined DistroKid to launch Upstream – a platform that feeds crucial data to A&R’s to help indie artists land a record deal. Not only has Che won two Grammy’s for his artistic talent, he served as COO of GOOD Music Records for 7 years, spearheading creative output, A&R, and marketing. Before that as Senior VP of A&R and at Aftermath Records, Staff Composer for Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control, and Senior VP of A&R for Warner Bros Record he has crafted many hits that have topped charts. In his new role at DistroKid, his goal is to leverage data to propel the next generation of artists into stardom.

This panel will dive deep into what DistroKid does, how A&R departments utilize data to scope out the new big thing, and how artists should be strategizing their distribution, streaming, and online engagement to build an undeniable story that garners attention from the industry gatekeepers. Moderator Alyssa Castiglia leads A&R and Creative at Primary Wave and formerly leveraged data to discover artists as an A&R at Island Records.

MUSICAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS: BALANCING YOUR EMTIONAL AND PHYSICAL VOICE

“As a vocal coach, I have been obsessed with learning how the body functions when we sing and trying to understand why and how issues that arise can be related to lifestyle and emotional states. This is a great place to start as it will alleviate any external barriers and obstacles to getting you where you want and need to be as a professional singer and artist….and a balanced one! In addition to all the technical stuff…….let’s dive into emotional and physical wellness. Why are you having technical difficulties? What is going on in your life? Is your mind and body reacting to negativity the same way? Effecting your voice? Can’t wait to find out!”

THE INTERSECTION OF CANNABIS AND MUSIC

A Conversation with Cannabis Brand LOOP/POOL, Their Artist Co-Founders & Music Journalist Alan Cross CMW is excited to welcome partners of recently launched cannabis brand LOOP/POOL, who join music journalist Alan Cross for a discussion about the ways in which music, the artist experience and cannabis converge in Canada, the first major country to federally legalize recreational cannabis. We also use this conversation as a chance to hear from the artists themselves about how they are adapting, reacting and rethinking how they build their careers and engage with their fans through these times of uncertainty.

The company is co-owned by seven major Canadian artists including; Our Lady Peace, Blue Rodeo, Stars, Felix Cartal, Kiesza, dvsn and Roy Woods. These 7 artists, representing 7 different genres, are united in building LOOP/POOL’s singular mission and message – #SupportCreators.
