Bandcamp Chief Curator Andrew Jervis One NZ Session for IMNZ Members Only

October 19th 2016
It is with pleasure that Independent Music NZ announces an exclusive session with one of the leading lights of Bandcamp - the worldwide online music store & artist promotion platform that sells 25,000 records every day.

Independent Music NZ have partnered with Face The Music in Melbourne to exclusively connect our members with Andrew Jervis, the New York-based global Chief Curator of Bandcamp and host of Bandcamp Weekly.

Andrew Jervis will be joined by Mikee Tucker of Loop to discuss the ins & outs of Bandcamp. They will cover how artists and labels can maximise their incomes using the trusted platform to sell music, merchandise & physical products, how to access the public-facing editorial & discovery opportunities, how to increase traffic to their artist/label accounts and gain a deeper understanding of the back-end mechanics available to them.

More than 400,000 artists have already sold music through Bandcamp and over 2,000 independent labels across the world subscribe to their premium Bandcamp For Labels service - understandable with stats like ‘one record sells every 4 seconds' on Bandcamp, and fans have paid artists US$4.9 million in the past 30 days alone. You can even view their real-time sales live feed HERE.

This will be a fantastic one-off opportunity to learn how to make the best use of this hugely successful international direct-to-fan marketplace.

THURSDAY 10th NOVEMBER 2016
