Billboard Music in Advertising Keynote with Kid Rock

At the BBMiA conference waaaay back in June I was simply blown away by Kid Rock. Not having really listened to his music (other than not really liking Bawitdaba’s radio domination years ago) I wasn’t sure what to expect.

What I heard at his keynote was:

1) A guy who has worked his butt off from day 1.
2) Someone who’s taken the time to learn ALL aspects of his craft (creative, business, etc).
3) A very down to earth individual with a fantastic outlook on life.

…and more. I was able to record some of the Q&A at the end of the session with my phone and I’m posting it here. I hope you enjoy it!

SXSW 2011

While it’s definitely been a great summer with a lot of big changes for me I haven’t been able to write as much as I would have liked about current issues in copyright and the music industry.

However, some big news! I’ve got a panel proposed for the 2011 iteration of South by Southwest! I’m very excited to have the opportunity to share with artists some really great details about getting music used in advertising, TV, and film. However, I need people to vote for it first! The following is a link to my panel and it’s description so give it a read and then give it a thumbs up!

Note: You do have to be registered on the SXSW 2011 Panel Picker, however it’s completely free, and very fast. To find my panel, you can also copy/paste the title into the search box after you’ve registered.

Thanks for your support!
