ROUNDTABLE: "What even is a CREATIVE DIRECTOR, and what has it got to with my music??!"
The artists you follow that seem so effortlessly cool; almost always have help. This help is often provided by a 'creative director' and while this person might not have that exact title – they could be A&R at a label, a cool photographer, agency professionals, a friend even – the role they assume has to do with the visual storytelling around the music of a given project.
The event set-up is not a typical panel, but ROUNDTABLES, where our hosts sit mixed in with attendees at roundtables. This event is best suited for artists or professionals already working on an existing project that they're looking to elevate and find ways to make stand out.
Our hosts are world-class professionals who do this for artists like: Björk, Bombay Bicycle Club, Christine and the Queens, SBTRKT, Wolf Alice, The Warning, Balming Tiger and Baebadobee as well as artists Sólveig Matthildur from Kælan Mikla, viral sensation Daði Freyr with Arni Arnason from The Vaccines who can speak to the artists' perspective on this topic.
