Hawaii County Department of Economic Development release:
Creative Lab Hawai‘i presents four one-hour webinar modules that explore aspects of the music business that can unleash revenue opportunities for local talent, and provide a deeper understanding of royalties, production libraries, and licensing music for use in film and television.
Price: Free
Available to: Hawai‘i’s music community and the public
When: November 9th and 12th; December 7th and 10th (all at 2:00pm HST).
Registration (you must register for each individual panel):
- DEMYSTIFYING ONLINE ROYALTIES, 11/9/20: You are probably not collecting all of your royalties! This module will explain the various royalty streams, and what you need to do to make sure you are collecting what you’ve earned.
- HOW TO GET YOUR MUSIC INTO FILM AND TV, 11/12/20: Film and TV licensing can replace performance income and provide a source of revenue for those who learn who the decision makers are and how to effectively pitch their music.
- MUSIC FOR ADVERTISING, 12/7/20: Licensing your music for advertising and branding is yet another source of income for indie artists. Topics covered will include what type of music works best for brands, and how to position your music for licensing in the advertising world.
- MUSIC PRODUCTION LIBRARIES, 12/10/20: What are music production libraries, and how can they provide another source of income from your music? Much of the music you hear on TV and streaming services comes from production music libraries. In recent years, the lines have become blurred between music publishers, record companies, music libraries, and licensing agencies. What exactly is the role of a library, and what are the opportunities for musicians, composers, producers and songwriters in this sector?
Creative Lab Hawaii is a State of Hawaii program created in 2012 composed of three separate modules: Immersive Programs, Ideation Workshops, and Public Programs.
