Curtis Brengle and Julie Ragins are both 30-year veterans in the music industry and they know what it takes to survive and thrive as professional musicians. They have seen first hand talented young musicians hitting the scene in Los Angeles who have no understanding of how the industry works today. How does a new musician stand a chance in cutting through all the noise and finding the success they want? Without a good understanding of how to market themselves, musicians will find it very difficult to monetize their love of music.  This seminar will help the musician or vocalist begin to nurture their entrepreneurial spirit, to understand the value of branding and marketing strategies, see the power of good social interaction skills, and the importance of knowing your audience and turning fans into advocates.  READ MORE ABOUT THE SEMINAR ITINERARY.
