Artists, use Prince's legacy as a lesson in reclaiming control over your intellectual property. Whether you're a veteran or emerging artist, reversion is a game-changer.

It's not just a legal maneuver; it's a pathway to artistic freedom and financial empowerment. #MusicIndustryInsights #PrinceLegacy #julianaimam

Will you be attending NAMM? This #NAMMU keynote is not one to be missed: "The music industry continues to break financial-growth records, but musicians never seem to get an invitation to the party. In this session, popular music and science content-creator Benn Jordan (Voice-Swap) will be joined by economist and music rights expert Michael Pelczynski (Voice-Swap, Forms + Shapes) to discuss the state of the #streamingeconomy, the emergence of #artificialintelligence and what #musicians can do to #survive it."

Friday July 28 will start out with a Spotlight Session on Diversity in Music Therapy, moderated by Dr. Cynthia Bruce (Canada). Abstract : For minoritized and allied music therapists around the world, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in music therapy is more than an up-and-coming topic to be highlighted and explored. As we consider how to foster just futures within oppressive global systems that continually perpetrate normative colonial violence in the name of individual and institutional health and well-being, it is nothing less than a political imperative. In this spotlight panel discussion, we come together as leaders, innovators, and committed activists to generate meaningful discussion about how music therapists can support necessary systemic transformation that will move our profession and our communities away from deficit-oriented and pathologizing responses to human difference. We will share, from our social, political, and geographic locations, how we are already doing this important work; and we will call others to engage in the kind of disruptive action that will foster belonging within the profession, institutions, and communities.
