ARTIST DEVELOPMENT 4.0: THE FUTURE OF A&R
MUSEXPO’s Creative Summit welcomes a panel of the world’s most innovative A&R minds for a focus on the nucleus of our business–the music! As our ecosystem continues to evolve amidst changing consumption platforms, data/metrics, streaming, revenue platforms and more, the art form that is A&R only continues to grow in importance, especially as social, digital and mobile arenas fuel the increasingly over-stimulated music fan and consumer. How do we grab and maintain the attention of the millennial generation, as well as others, and how do we monetize it in new ways and marketplaces? What does it take to create and develop a hit song and the artist behind it? This forum will highlight the first point of creativity in the music business with a discussion on the art, gut instinct and science behind the next wave of global hits and artist development.

BEHIND THE A&R GLASS: CREATING HITS FOR GLOBAL ARTISTS

An artist can have the best image, social stats and a larger-than-life persona, but without consistent and undeniable hits, their success will remain limited.

Writing and producing great songs is an art form unto itself and this panel has mastered the craft to create music that has changed the career trajectory of some of the world’s most recognized acts!

GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT MARKETING FORUM: CONNECTING WITH A NEW GENERATION OF MILLENNIAL CONSUMERS
The creative process doesn’t stop once the song is created. As the global consumer landscape has continued to evolve, it has forced the industry to find new and effective ways to market to fans with increasingly short attention spans. This has spawned an entirely new breed of marketeers and tech innovators who now seek the path of least resistance to reach consumers via traditional platforms such as radio, synch and live, as well as a new generation of media, including streaming platforms, apps and other digital/tech innovations. This panel welcomes some of the leading marketing minds, and tech disrupters from around the world, who have successfully navigated the plethora of avenues to bring artists to the global marketplace in unique, powerful and impactful ways.
