Welcome to Office Hours!

A monthly, educational series with a rotating roster of industry guest speakers. Sessions are recorded and optimized for social media — ensuring digestible formats accessible for independent artists everywhere. Each session is accompanied by public resources (budget templates, glossaries, etc.) to help put theory into practice.

Join us for the second event of this series in New York City on Oct. 8th from 7-9pm to discuss and learn all about what you need to know for: Sync Rights, Publishing Splits, Who owns your Master recordings, and more!

If you'd like to attend virtually, this event will be simulcast via zoom. Please rsvp here and you will receive an email with the meeting link prior to the event.

Representatives from UMAW will be on hand if you have any questions or would learn more about organizing together as music workers.

Panelists: Mike Lawrence (Music Lawyer), Shilpa Ray (musician and artist), Zack Weinstein (Publishing at Mexican Summer), moderated by Joey La Neve DeFrancesco (La Neve, Downtown Boys)

Honest information on how to navigate the music industry is hard to find and often harder to understand. For independent and emerging artists without a thoughtful team, this knowledge can greatly impact their success. Lets collectively gather, learn and network with one another.

Plus, sharing is caring. And we care.
