Recap: Minds Behind The Music Seminar Series

Have you ever wanted to get insight from music industry insiders but you just didn’t know how? Do you want to know more about the individuals that work behind the scenes keeping the industry wheels spinning? Enter the Minds Behind The Music Seminar Series, an educational program that allows driven and curious audiences to connect to those who are in the entertainment business and get an understanding of their journey. It allows people to learn first-hand what it takes to get into the music business, and the tools and traits that will keep you there.

The first series kicked off this past Saturday, August 3rd at Baruch College in NYC. A sold-out crowd awaited to hear from a panel of industry greats that included Kevin Storey (Brand Manager at Epic Records), Rob Markman (Senior Writer at MTV News), and Margeaux Rawson (SVP of Operations at Vested in Culture). The panelists offered inspirational stories about how they got started in the industry, and the trials and tribulations they have overcome throughout the years. Kevin Storey and Margeaux Rawson both grinded during college, completing internship after internship while Rob Markman worked a 9-5 in a mailroom, simultaneously cranking out freelance work.

The panelists discussed topics such as branding, social media, and the ongoing debate of print vs. digital media. They offered advice to the audience during a Q&A segment, followed by a mixer that allowed you to personally pick the brains of the three guest speakers. If you have a passion for the entertainment industry and are trying to get your foot in the door, then this is a series you don’t want to miss.
