Writing Bios That Don’t Suck with Dan Kimpel

Artists, composers, songwriters, performers, and producers all benefit from well-written bios. A bio creates an immediate identity, brands a style, and leads a reader directly to the music. Ideally, your bio should be applicable for multiple purposes: a key ingredient in an EPK, an essential element on a website, for social media, and as a professional introduction to music supervisors, bookers, press and the music business at large. Author, educator, and journalist Dan Kimpel creates bios for top music industry professionals. During this session, Dan will help you discover techniques to make yours shine!

Organizing Your Music, Pitches, Signings, Placements, and Income with Keith LuBrant

Keith is a shining example of how somebody with a full-time job, a family, and a mortgage can still earn a really nice “second income” from his favorite side hustle — making music for TV, film, and TV commercials. He’s had placements on more than 1,100 TV shows on 201 TV networks for a total of 568,155,148 needle drops! He’s a pretty humble guy who isn’t comfortable talking about how much money he makes with his music, but suffice it to say that his daughter could go to Harvard when she grows up and have plenty of spending money left over. Or Keith could just buy a bunch of rare guitars ;-) So how does he keep track of all that music, his pitches, who it’s signed with, the placements, and how much he’s earning? Watch this session to find out!
