We’ll explore both the strategy and the emotional process behind sharing our work, including how to let go of art once it’s finished, how to speak about it with confidence, and how to invite audiences into the world we’re creating.

What is the role of a Music Manager? How and when do you add this person to your team? How do you attract the right manager and manage your own career in the meantime? We’ll hear from successful managers and artists how this relationship can begin and sustain and change throughout your music career.
Monetizing your music can feel daunting or like an afterthought, but it’s actually one of the most important things you can do. Learn ways to set yourself up for success and be sure that you are in the know of where the money related to your art is going.
Being a musician is not an island. There is a community of creatives and artists that are there to support, and there are ways for you to bring others along. We’ll hear from those who’ve created thriving communities and how those communities continue to enrich their art and lives.
Resonate is a Starbucks & STG Partnership program.
