Moderated by Clotilde Bernier - Agence Mazette

In a music industry where the discoverability of creative work is becoming a central issue, how are artists building their careers today? This panel aims to examine the role of festivals, support organizations and producers as tastemakers and practical drivers of professionalization. It will also bring them into dialogue with artists to explore paths toward lasting artistic and economic independence.
