The Yowie Virtual Hip Hop Music Conference is designed to help artists with enhancing the quality of their music, and maximizing the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. There are many other conferences that will cover contracts, business structure, and other legal stuff. While these things are very important, most artists need help with the actual music before they need to worry about signing any contracts. So the most important questions that the conference will help to answer are, “What do you need to do to make the music better?” , and “How do I increase the chance of people listening to my music?”.
The best part about the Virtual Hip Hop Music Conference is that it is FREE to attend. Each panel will have a unique URL. Simply visit the URL at its scheduled time and you are good to go.
The event is sponsored by Yowie, Funk Volume, HipHopDx, and iStandard Producers.
