Hear from self-made artists and founders as they share the lessons they wish they’d known sooner — from managing money and building a team to protecting your rights and scaling with purpose.

Moderator: Brandon Myers, Director & Artist Vision Partner - Marmalade

Josh Gunston, Founder & Director (Label Operations + Artist Management) - Southpoint

Kate Hendry, Head of Label Operations - Absolute Label Services

Sam Campbell, Music Business Consultant - c da sound
