The Grassroots Music Seminar was founded to address the growing disconnect between artists, DJs, and the business side of the music industry. With the rise of technology and evolving industry practices, many artists have lost touch with the foundational relationships and knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of the modern music landscape. The seminar seeks to rebuild these connections, equipping participants with the tools and wisdom necessary to thrive as artists, DJs, and entrepreneurs.

In addition to the seminar, the Concert Series provides an unparalleled platform for regional artists to showcase their talents before influential industry figures. Performers will be evaluated on their stage presence and professionalism and must demonstrate their understanding of business concepts discussed during the seminar. Successful participants will advance to the final showcase in Chicago, gaining critical exposure and career advancement opportunities.

The 6th Annual Grassroots Music Seminar and Concert Series is more than an event; it is a movement dedicated to empowering artists, fostering collaboration, and inspiring the next generation of music professionals.
