What does success mean in today's music industry? Because it definitely isn't defined the same way as it was just 10 years ago. Should you strive for a record or publishing deal? Should you live on the road? Should you focus on licensing? Should you work on building a die-hard fan base? Should you hibernate in the studio writing, producing and submitting your work? How can songwriters/artists actually make money in today's industry? Our panel of experts in diverse areas of the new music business will explore these questions and more, and give songwriters, producers and artists concrete ways to succeed with a music career.

Panelists:
  • Bill Lefler, producer/songwriter, (Ingrid Michaelson, Gym Class Heroes, Patrick Stump, Dashboard Confessional, Joshua Radin, Cary Brothers)
  • Sonnet Simmons, VP of Catch the Moon Music
  • Andrew Leib, Manager, Red Light Management
  • Ari Herstand, Ari's Take, Author of 'How To Make It in the New Music Business'
