About this Event
THE BUSINESS SIDE OF YOUR CREATIVE WORK
Know Your Music Business (KYMB) presents a practical workshop for artists, musicians, and creatives.
Being talented at what you do is important. But understanding the business behind your creative work is equally essential.
Who owns your work? What rights do you have? How do royalties work? What should you understand before signing an agreement or entering a creative partnership?
These are important questions that every creative should be encouraged to ask.
Whether you’re an emerging artist, an established musician, songwriter, producer, visual artist, or creative entrepreneur, understanding the commercial side of your work can help you make more informed decisions and recognise opportunities.
Join Serign-B Sanneh, music business professional, rights advocate, and founder of Jaalolu & Know Your Music Business (KYMB), for an accessible and practical introduction to the business side of creativity.
WHAT WILL WE EXPLORE?
- Ownership and Copyright: Understanding who owns creative work and why ownership matters.
- Music Rights: An introduction to the different rights associated with music and creative output.
- Royalties and Income: Understanding how creative work can generate income and the importance of rights administration.
