About entrepreneurship in the Music Industry with the focus on Artists, Back office, Production & Tourmanagement.“Only with a sense of control over the boring aspects of running the business, artists can truly indulge in the creative realm of their imagination to ultimately turn their magic into art for the crowd to enjoy. We have seen too many artists living with the insecurities of administrative shit and organisational hassle.”Recent workshops/ masterclassesEurosonic Noorderslag - ABOSS panel "Power of staying control over your career and company"https://esns.nl/nl/conference/the-power-of-staying-in-control-over-your-career-and-company/2019-01-19/15:00Dancefair & Dutch DJ Foundation - workshop: “Be in control like a boss” https://www.dancefair.nl/en/#SXSW - “Music Products & Services at the SXSW Trade Show Pitch Stage”https://www.sxsw.com/SXSW - “New Dutch Wave Start up Pitch Competitionhttp://www.immovator.nl/nieuws/doe-mee-met-new-dutch-wave-sxsw SXSW - “NDW Tradeshow startup pitches”http://www.adformatie.nl/blog/nederlandse-deelname-sxsw-2017-wordt-grootsEurosonic Noorderslag - “Europe from the front seat of the bus: A Tour Manager’s tale” https://www.eurosonic-noorderslag.nl/en/conference/panels/panel/europe-from-the-front-seat-of-the-bus-a-tour-managers-tale/Herman Brood Academie - “Entrepreneurship in the Music industry”https://www.hermanbroodacademie.nl/Pop Department Conservatory of Amsterdam - “Tour budgeting” http://www.ahk.nl/conservatorium/opleidingen/bachelor/pop/Music Motion "Do NOT Do It Yourself" - Music Pitch about new music industry Start-Upswww.musicmotion.nl
