Online event
How are artists and independent record labels using Bandcamp's tools for success?
About this event
Bandcamp is an online record store and music community where passionate fans discover, connect with, and directly support the artists they love. Join us to hear from Andrew Jervis, Bandcamp’s chief curator and host of Bandcamp Weekly, along with harpist Brandee Younger and co-founder of International Anthem Recording Co. Scottie McNiece about how they use Bandcamp to support their musical lives.
Andrew is Director of Artists and Labels at Bandcamp, the online music community for musicians, record labels, and music fans. Overseeing the label and artist outreach team, he helps bring in music from all over the world, and he works closely with artists and labels to define new tools and features. He also hosts the Bandcamp Weekly show, combing through the site to uncover and present weekly selections of amazing new music.
Brandee is known for sharing the stage with jazz royalty Jack Dejohnette & Ravi Coltrane, laying down tracks with Grammy-winning rapper Common and artist & producer Ryan Leslie, as well as bringing to life the classic Impressionistic work of Maurice Ravel. Her ability to feature the harp in genres of music where the instrument is often absent demonstrates her cross-reaching ability as a musician.
Scottie is the Co-Founder and A&R Director of International Anthem, a Chicago-born recording company that produces & promotes progressive media. He is also the Founder and Head Curator of Uncanned Music, an audio, acoustic, and music design firm that specializes in ambiance for hospitality.
This discussion is open to anyone with an interest in the distribution of music and building music community – from performers to listeners, from people who work with labels to music creators wanting to know more about Bandcamp's tools and platform. We hope you will join us! This webinar is made possible through the support of Bandcamp and New York Music Month Extended Play - an initiative of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME).
