Hip Hop Re:Education Project

#AllCity is back y'all! We are looking for aspiring emcees, singers, producers, beatboxers or dancers ages of 17-24 to participate in our virtual workshop series this fall!

Aside from leveling-up artistically, professionally and personally, we will also be connecting and collaborating with young Hip Hop artists from Berlin, Germany. Project participants will receive a weekly meal allowance, as well as a small cash stipend for successful completion of the program. Though the majority of our meetings will be occurring via Zoom, we are also hoping to meet in-person (outside and socially-distanced) before the weather gets too cold, so preference will be given to NYC-based artists.

Apply at https://www.tinyurl.com/allcity2020fall (link in bio). Applications due Friday, October 9th! An orientation will be held the week of October 12th! Have questions or need more information? Email [email protected].

This #internationalwomensday, we're celebrating the powerful female forces leading mental health awareness in the music industry, and Hayley Williams of Paramore is a shining example. In a recent article with the The New York Times (link in bio), Williams spoke about her journey of self discovery, accepting her depression/PTSD and beginning the healing process that ultimately lead to the creation of her upcoming solo album.

Twice as many women will experience depression in their lifetimes than men, and brave voices like Williams' ignite vital conversations and remind each of us that we are not alone.

Get your bite sized advice re: independent distribution via Resonator

Bite-Sized Advice vol. 7: Independent Distribution

Did you know independent recorded music generated $821m in 2019? (Source: musicbusinessworldwide) 🤯🤯

Choosing a distributor for your next project isn’t straightforward at all. With so many different distributors with hidden fees and service offerings, it’s really difficult to know where to get started. So here is our Pro and Con breakdown of some of the biggest players in the DIY game, #tunecore #distrokid #cdbaby and the tier of invite only distributors like #unitedmasters #awal #empire
Some take one time fees, some take annual fees, and others just rely on a percentage of generated revenue. Take some notes, your distributor is your best friend as an independent artist these days.

Who do you distribute your music through? What’s your experience with them?
