Understanding artist management & best practices

This presentation by Rikki Stein aims to draw inspiration from his experience as Fela Kuti’s manager, and to translate his understanding of the artist management space. While sharing the challenges and personal achievements of his career, Stein's presentation will look at the transformation of artist management in an increasingly global and cross-border industry, which has given birth to a generation of 'music entrepreneurs'. How does a manager contribute effectively to the development of an artist? What is key in music carrier development in today's DIY era? To answer these questions and others, Stein will be joined by award-winning Cameroonian musician and entrepreneur Blick Bassy.
