MINT is a new Music Industry Networking event that happens the first Thursday of each month.
Our goal is to connect music industry professionals including but not limited to musicians, producers, funders, vocalists, marketing and PR professionals etc. We have found that it is hard to break into the current music industry culture and that there is not enough support for South African musicians at large or respect for those behind the scenes. Therefore, we would like to find ways to create our own opportunities and work and also provide work to others that are overlooked even though their excellence speaks volumes.
In June, we held our first MINT Event with Producer and owner of iBillion Jonathan Shaw, who shared his knowledge of Copyright and especially Copyright in an AI world.
Producer Matthew Fink spoke about producing and what it takes to create a world class album in July.
We networked with music professionals and were serenaded by several musicians at both events, including Refilwe Sediti, Dumisani Vilakazi aka, Bones, Eaz’52, Matthew Peaceful and
Our next event will take place on Thursday, 1st August 2024.
