#MusicBiz2026 KICK OFF: In a panel moderated by Emily White (Impact Data & Events; Collective Entertainment), Artist Desiree Dawson, Lesly Montes (Collective Entertainment) and Matthew Wilson (Arnall Golden Gregory) are teaching independent artist teams how to take control of their own path with practical tools to help juggle the many hats they wear 🛣️ Some tidbits:
“Just message music supervisors once. If you never hear from them – they only respond if they’re wanting to sync your song. It’s not that they don’t like it, they’re just waiting for the right moment.” – Desiree
“Most artists don’t know venues have $75, $300,$500 of free money to market your show. If you ask, they’re sometimes even willing to give you their press list.” – Lesly
