CMJ is rapidly approaching, and while some rad stuff is in the works, I'm pleased to let you know that I will be speaking on a panel dedicated to new media and the role of bloggers within the realm of it. This discussion is part of the 2-day Swedish Music Seminar; Turning the Market Around: Creative Dialogues for Stepping up the Game.


The two-day professional seminar will explore the ongoing, extensive and highly successful relationship between the Swedish and U.S. music industries. Record label professionals, songwriters, producers, music publishers and artists from both Sweden and the United States are scheduled to appear and speak.

Yours truly will be present on the below panel.
