BEAT, BRAND & BEYOND — CODE YOUR ANTHEM

What if your love of music could become a career — on your terms, using technology as your instrument?

Beat, Brand & Beyond is a hands-on session where participants explore the intersection of music, technology, and creative entrepreneurship. A producer or beatmaker leads a live session showing exactly how music is made with digital tools today — then you get to make your own beat from scratch.

But this session goes deeper than the music. We'll talk about how the music industry has been transformed by tech — streaming, AI-generated sound, beat licensing, sync deals — and how young creators are building real careers from their bedrooms. All in just 2 hours.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

🎵 Live production demo — Watch a producer work in real time. See how a beat goes from idea to finished track.

🎧 Make your own beat — Hands-on time with music production software. No experience needed — just your ears and creativity.

💼 Music tech & the business — How technology has opened new income streams for artists: licensing, streaming strategy, content creation, and more.

🎤 Creator Q&A — A music tech professional answers your questions about turning a passion into a profession.
