It was a fantastic first day at the Music Biz 2019 conference at the JW Marriott in Nashville.
We turned the tables on Zane Lowe of Apple Music – he’s the one who always does the interviews but today we had one of his favorite artists, Hayley Williams of Paramore, interview him!
Also in attendance were Amber Grimes, SVP of Global Creative at Capitol Music Group, Mitch Glazier of RIAA and Bart Herbison of NSAI, who all posed for pictures with Music Business Association President, James Donio.

Day 1 of the Music Biz Conference started off with a great look into how an individual’s own skill sets can help you in any career that you put yourself into. During “Who Even Am I? Entrepreneur, Corporate, Freelance?” attendees learned to nurture and be careful how you use your relationships after you’ve built them as well as to “Be a unicorn in a balloon factory” as Allison Shaw pointed out. Essentially you want to stand out when using your skill sets to succeed in the workplace.

Attendees who then stayed to listen to the “Why In-Person Relationships Are More Important Than Your Follower Count” seminar were told to know the team you work with and how to use each individual’s skill set to collectively be successful. To make so much noise that people can’t help but notice you. Later in the day during the “Innovative Careers in the Music Industry,” attendees were warned about not watermarking your work along with hiring an attorney and an accountant before going with brand managers, labels, and more to protect their entities. Not to be afraid to write their own contracts and to always bring your A-game even when you don’t feel like it.

The highlight of the day for many people was the featured presentation where Zane Lowe and Hayley Williams talked during “Turning The Tides With Zane Lowe, Apple Music/Beats1.” Attendees got a chance to look into what is changing in the world of music specifically with Apple Music, Beats 1, and online streaming as a whole. “Context within music has been blown wide open by streaming” Zane Lowe pointed out at one point to the audience.

Attendees got a chance to look into what is changing in the world of music specifically with Apple Music, Beats 1, and online streaming as a whole. “Context within music has been blown wide open by streaming” Zane Lowe pointed out at one point to the audience. Everyone is looking at how to creatively distribute music and online streaming has been a big part of the new wave of that. There rarely is any pre-promotion anymore for albums and/or singles unless the artist does it themselves so the industry is changing.
