How To Run a Label
Sound & Culture Summit
The Sound & Culture Summit presents a series of short 'How To'-sessions, in which experts in the sector share the know-how of their field. This session focuses on setting up and running a label in a way that prioritizes a sustainable relationship between label and artist: what are some of the challenges you might face along the way, how do you balance artistic and commercial considerations, and how do you maintain a clear artistic vision throughout the years? The session also explores why independent labels remain relevant in an increasingly saturated music landscape, and how they can function as curators, trusted platforms, and meaningful partners for artists beyond simply releasing music.
Hosted by Vanity Roxane, this sessions features DJ and producer Sara Dziri and Constellation Records founders Don Wilkie and Ian Ilavsky.
