MAA is a unique programme designed to fast-track the international careers of selected artists and is part of Midem, which takes place in Cannes, France, from 6-9 June 2017.
Nine upcoming international artists will be selected by an Artistic Committee, made up of leading industry experts that already includes: Laurence Muller, Founder and Managing Director, Snoot (France); Yoon-Young Kong (Dalse), Founder and Executive Producer, Zandari Culture Company (South Korea); Willy Ehmann, SVP Domestic GSA, Sony Music Entertainment (Germany); Christopher Kaskie, President, Pitchfork (USA); Patrik Larsson, A&R and Label Manager, Playground Music Scandinavia (Sweden); Christian Bernhardt, Agent, United Talent Agency (USA); and Rob Hallett, Founder, Robomagic (UK).
”I’m truly looking forward to being a part of the Artistic Committee and to helping discover and nurture the next generation of global talent. This is what we do, this is what we live for. Discovering talent and helping them get to the next level of reaching their goals. And to work so closely with established conference-brand Midem feels extra special. It is a conference I have been attending for so many years since I started more than 20 years ago. Can´t wait for this to get started. I am excited!” said Patrik Larsson from Playground Music Scandinavia, the biggest independent music company across all of Scandinavia.
