Being an independent musician today means navigating many roles at once: writing, producing, releasing, booking, promoting — often under increasing financial pressure and within a system shaped by competition and scarcity. Rising costs, limited resources, and unstable conditions make it harder to sustain artistic work in the long term.
This evening invites a shift in perspective:
What if we moved beyond competition and started thinking in terms of solidarity?
What would it mean to support each other, for example in getting gigs, and also across all aspects of being musicians?
Together with Jamila (Jamila & The Other Heroes) and Melissa Perales, we open a space to exchange experiences, share strategies, and imagine new ways of working together — from songwriting and production to touring, promotion, and community building.
How can we share knowledge, resources, and networks?
How can we build sustainable communities of care and mutual support within and beyond the music scene?
The evening is designed as a mixed format: starting with a panel conversation, followed by facilitated small group sessions to allow for deeper exchange and co-creation, and closing with time for networking, music, and drinks.
