My trip to Atlanta 2008

This past weekend I went to Atlanta to attend the International Soul Music Summit. It was pretty cool sicne this year I was much more involved. I was actually on two of the panels, one on Music Media, the other for Soul Promoters. So I got to talk to a captive audience about my experiences in the industry and offer some advice.

BUt the best part was that I was able to promote Nu-Soul. We had a Strictly Social party in Atlanta. Despite some drama and hiccups everything went over pretty well. We had a nice crowd and the performances were great!!

2007 International Soul Music Summit

Last week I went to the International Soul Music Summit in Atlanta, Georgia and boy am I glad I did. It was an excellent networking conference for the soul music community. I was able to network with lots of industry insiders from around the world, meet artists and publicists face to face that I only knew through emails, get lots of important information on how to make my business grow, and of course, catch some amazing performances from some of the best talent in the underground scene. I managed to snap some pictures in between all of the networking and business card passing. I suck but you get the idea.
