BANDCAMP

Bootcamp for emerging musicians

BANDCAMP, the Gold Coast’s only full-day industry intensive for emerging musicians, is back in 2024 after a sell-out event in 2023!

BANDCAMP, presented by the Gold Coast Music Network, is designed to give emerging musicians and artists a leg up in their career: an opportunity to explore their goals for the future and the barriers to achieving those goals. 

Industry experts will share their knowledge and insights on a range of topics relevant to emerging musicians, including:

• The Business of Music
• Representation and Bookings Agents
• Taxation, Deductions and Record-keeping
• Royalties and Payment
• PR and Marketing
• Mental Health for Musicians
• Grant-writing
• Building Relationships in the Australian Music Industry

…and so much more!

Participants will work on personal goal-setting, join in small group discussions, facilitated panels, roundtables and Q&A sessions where they’ll receive tailored advice on their career, pick the brain of industry experts, network with other musicians, and build connections. 

Artists will leave with a plan in place for the next 2 – 3 years as well as a new level of understanding and awareness about the music industry and strategies for success.

Guest speakers include:⁠

• Josie Cooper – Accountant
• Brad Hinds – East West Presents, Oztix
• Brad Hosking – Southern Cross University, Blind Boy Studios⁠
• Mandi McIntyre – QMusic
• Caroline McKnight – APRA AMCOS
• Mella Lahina – Miami Marketta
• Samantha Morris – Gold Coast Music Network
• Will Oui – Support Act
• Karen Smith – iKapture, Sony
• April Terzis – Collective Artists

BANDCAMP is facilitated and curated by local music industry experts Brad Hinds of Oztix and East West Presents, and Samantha Morris, co-founder of the Gold Coast Music Network and Gold Coast Music Awards.
