The Launchpad is a series of talks for musicians that dives into both the creative and business sides of building a music career. Each session features industry pros—from talent buyers and touring artists to producers and film composers—offering practical insights straight from lived experience.

Past sessions have explored:

• Songwriting and production techniques, like arranging unforgettable songs with Bryn Bliska and production masterclasses with Jim Eno (Spoon)

• Sync licensing insights, including how to land placements, work with reps, edit for sync, and break into the industry—featuring experts like Nat Phan, Mayra Vargas, Spencer Bastian, and Cullah

• Music business and career growth, with guidance from leaders like Emily White and Erin Barra-Jean on building sustainable careers and scaling creative impact, and booking better shows with a panel of local talent buyers

• Composing for screen, with an in-depth look at film scoring from musician Ben Sollee

Every session ends with an interactive Q&A.
