♦ ESSENCE of the project
Designed specifically to support managers, agents, labels as they look to grow their artists’ profiles globally.
12 international upcoming talent will be selected by an Artistic Committee, made up of artists and key players of the music ecosystem with strong artistic and business background.
As part of The Artist Accelerator Programme we will propose to the finalists a live performance at Midem but also a full curated professional journey through Midem conference sessions and exclusive access to industry mentors, coaching as well as networking opportunities.
This yearly rendezvous is aimed to be the flagship project at Midem for an Artist’s Export Strategy and will therefore benefit and generate a major exposure.
