Clear Channel New York’s Power 105.1 (WWPR-FM) is teaming up with LG Mobile Phones to present the “Power 105.1 Music Summit.” The event will take place from 9am-6pm on Saturday, April 24th in the Grand Ballroom of the Manhattan Center, 311 West 34th Street, NYC.
Music industry executives will discuss how they got their big break, the ups and downs of the business, and what they wish they would have known when they got started.
Individual workshops include: Putting Your Team Together, Inside the Record Label, Current State of the Industry, Where Does the $$ Come From?, and The Radio Business.
According to their press release, CD’s and demo handouts are permitted inside the venue only, which makes one wonder what would happen to your poor street teamers if you dare run a campaign on the sidewalk…
Ten lucky registrants will win a full day recording session with an engineer at Manhattan Center Productions.
Tickets to the Power 105.1 Music Summit are $299 and include breakfast and lunch.
[Editor’s note: Kudos to Clear Channel for stepping up and supporting emerging artists! Now, if you could just chill out about the inside/outside thing…]

Ya’ll Should be ashamed of yourselves asking for that kind of money from up and coming artist knowing that we are struggling just to get in to the industry and here ya’ll come riping us off. Thats just as bad as the other people us urban artist off. I thought you guys was seriously giving us small times on the rise a fair shot at promoting ourselves and our crafts, But there is defenatly no way im spending $300 to come in and hear someone speak.
Your Angry Listener.
Thank You for not helping but riping us off!
For 300 dollars, Sounds like a scam to me.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND. 300 DOLLARS TO HEAR THAT THE RECORD BUSINESS IS FLUCKED UP OUT OF CONTROL AND KARMA IS FINALLY COMING BACK TO THE INDUSTRY. WHATS GOING ON NOW IS ALL THE ARTISTS THAT GOT JERKED IN THE PAST FROM JIMMY HENDRIX TO THE BEATLES TO THE MODERN DAY 7 CENTS A RECORD IS COMING BACK TO SLAP THE INDUSTRY IN THE FACE, ALL THE POCKET PADDING OF DAYS PAST, ALL THE OVERSPENDING, AND ALL THE SLAVEDRIVING TACTICS OF THESE CORPRATE MACHINES, IS COMING TO HAUNT THEM. THE BIRTH OF THE INDEPENDENT REVOLUTION. FINALLY THE LITTLE GUYS ARE GETTING SOME RESPECT. BUT I’LL STILL EAT IT ON MY FIRST DEAL AND SIGN WITH ONE OF EM. AFTER I GET MY MANSION I’LL JUS BUY BACK MY MASTERS, AND I’LL BE BOOTLEGGIN MY OWN RECORDS.
