How To - Make Your Music Pay
PRS for Music is visiting Liverpool to
offer a free event for local music creators. Following a string of successful
panels in Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield last year (2016), this year
(2017):- 'How to Make Your Music Pay' will take place at FACT, in the heart of the independent Ropewalks quarter,
on Monday, 15 May 2017.
Across 2 panels, industry professionals with hands on experience will provide
guidance and help music creators gain knowledge and understanding about the
music business. Attendees will learn about the importance of protecting their
music rights, as well as the various ways that creating music can help to
generate an income.
'How To - Create Your Masterpiece' panellists will be discussing the journey
of a song; from the initial idea for a tune, a beat, a title, or a complete
work, through to copyright and the unwritten rules of song writing and finally,
the importance of quality and fit for purpose production.
The 2nd panel:- 'How To - Get Your Song Played And Paid,' will focus on
generating exposure across radio, TV and the media, building a fan base and
setting the foundations for a successful career in music.
Both panels will be moderated by Daniel Jones, PRS for Music's Education and
Outreach Manager for the North of England, who commented:- "These panels
are designed with composers and songwriters at every point in their careers in
mind; whether you've just written your 1st song or your 50th. As a
membership organisation, PRS for Music doesn't just collect royalties on your
behalf, we're also here for creators to turn to for advice and education on the
music business."
While the event is free, space is limited so please ensure you book a space
online if you wish to attend. Both non members and PRS for Music members are
encouraged to attend.
Panel attendees will also have the opportunity to network and see PRS for Music
members Her's (Line of Best Fit) and The Vryll Society (BBC) perform at a
special PRS Presents gig. See below for further information.

6:15pm - 7:15pm:- 'Panel - How To - Create Your Masterpiece'
Technology today means almost anyone can make a decent sounding home recording.
However there's still a huge difference between a homemade demo and a
professionally produced and mixed studio recording. And despite all the
innovations, a good song will always be key. This panel will discuss the journey
of a song, from its inception, through the recording process on to career
defining masterpiece status.

7:30pm to 8:45pm:- 'How To: Get Your Song Played And Paid'
You've created your masterpiece, but now comes the challenge of getting
audiences to actually hear your songs and making money from them. In the age of
streaming services and curated playlists, is radio still key for up and coming
artists? What qualities are music supervisors looking for in a song to place it
on a TV show? Is getting press still key for breaking an artist? And what are
the different revenue streams for songwriters in the digital age? These are just
some of the questions we'll be exploring on this panel.
