- (1888PressRelease) January 06, 2012 - "This is not just another music conference"! Opulent Public Relations & Event Management will host the M.I.A. Music Industry Academy-Inaugural Edition on Friday, January 20-January 22, 2012 at the Wyndham Dallas. The M.I.A. Music Industry Academy-Inaugural Edition is sponsored in part by Dallas Explosion TV, Media International and Big Rich of Front Office Media Group, Oakland, CA.
90% of all music conferences focus on artist performances and networking. The niche and theme created for the M.I.A. Music Industry Academy-Inaugural Edition is the missing educational piece. The M.I.A. Music Industry Academy-Inaugural Edition will provide knowledgeable, relevant industry professionals to educate those aspiring to be in the industry and those who are in the industry but have realized little results, about the Business of Music. Artists, managers, DJs, publicists, bloggers, promoters, distributors, attorneys and label execs in various facets will share, hear, learn and apply information and build relationships.
"The idea came to me, literally as I was leaving a music conference this summer. As a former educator, my instinct took over and I was determined to organize an event with the education element at the forefront.", said Shay Johnson, owner of Opulent PREM. "I think every artist and professional in this industry deserves to be educated in the "Business of Music", which is also the theme of the M.I.A., given to us by Vice President, J. Pratt."
Managers, new record labels, new company owners, publicists, producers, bloggers and music industry professionals who need, support and who deliver music to the world through various genres are invited to attend. It is structured so that attendees are afforded the opportunity to learn the "Business of Music". Artist performances are not the focus; educating artists for greater success is. We believe that everyone is entitled to objective advice from competent and ethical music industry experts to make smart artistic, business and financial decisions.
This two-day academy brings the best in the music industry to present and is set in an environment conducive to learning and growing. Respected professionals in the game including: Kevin Shine, The F.I.R.M.; M-Squared, 97.9 The Beat; Jazzy, Jazzy Management; Corey Cleghorn, Clout World; Kazy D.; Roderick Woods, Dynamyte Records; Brandy Varnado, CA; and D. Lyles, Heat Factory to name a few!
Freelance journalist and blogger, Brandy Varnado states, "Unlike music conferences and festivals, M.I.A. is a learning event that will allow those in the industry to network, promote and take classes based on their interest to gain more knowledge to assist them in their career. The idea is that each attendee will leave the conference with a complete toolbox from which to work and grow their careers. The academy is not just for rappers. There is truly a place for everyone involved in the music industry from PR professionals, fashion designers, graphic designers, managers, video directors, etc." Ms. Varnado will be presenting "What a Blog Wants" during the M.I.A.
The organizers are bringing two of the industry's most dynamic and knowledgeable Key Note Speakers: Kevin Shine, Grammy nominated A&R consultant, now CEO of Atlanta-based The F.I.R.M. and Roderick Woods, Dynamyte Records.
"Poetic Music" artist showcase is an extension of the M.I.A .'s entertainment. Artist will have the opportunity to perform Live in front of some of the industry's most influential. It will take place at Quixotic World, 2826 Main in Deep Ellum, Friday, January 20, 2012. Doors open at 7p.m., show at 8:00 p.m.
