What does it take to remain an eccentric beyond current trends? That was revealed in the talk with Finnish musician and composer Jimi Tenor. Saturated with black humour and a romantic tone, Tenor has never settled for the traditional role of a pop artist. His output has been described as the musical equivalent of Andy Warhol for his ability to combine spontaneous silliness and shameless glamour. Tenor’s artistic approach has always been typically Finnish: technically practical and saturated with humour.

As the "professional" industry converges around developing artists, brands and fanbases, and independent artists like Chance the Rapper become bigger, the job of managing an artists’ career is also... bigger.
More managers are needed. But is it a viable job, or just a high-risk "hobby", juggling roles and cash flow until the big girls & boys take over? Can you go from organising the mailing list, and loading the van to sitting at a big desk, making big calls, and smoking a big cigar?

Tallinn Music Week 2019 Creative Impact Conference. Make It Big! Manager: hobbyist or executive?

While sync makes up only a fraction of the value of recorded music, it's clear that with visual content production on the rise, the opportunities to sync tracks to a TV, trailer, film, commercials and other formats is increasing. With streaming revenues (that build slowly) making up most of most tracks' value, a sync deal can offer a package of quick cash & promotion. More and more artists are describing their music as “syncable”. While the value of sync is real, the challenge for a track to be picked out of millions is a journey of rights clearances, licensing and, of course, relationships with sync agents and music supervisors. There's a lot to know in addition to describing your music as: “syncable”. We asked for a reality check from a panel of established professionals.

On 2.April 2019 Equal Pay Day was reaching Estonia. Unfortunately there was a reason why later than elsewhere in Europe. It told us that there were challenges to tackle. TMW showed some of the progress, statistics and results that haved been accomplished in the music sector and discussed how some of the good practices could be used more widely as well as the benefit of that for our societies and economies.
