Education: The Resurrection of Urban Music ... Who Knew?
Why Urban Artists, Producers, and Executives are turning to Music Industry Seminars for Answers in the midst of an Urban Music crash
ORLANDO, Fla., March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- What do the Urban Music and Real Estate Market have in common? They're both in the midst of collapse and those who think they can survive with the old model stand to have their dreams foreclosed on. Record labels are going bankrupt, major stars are broke, and many feel that urban music has lost its honesty. So where does the industry go from here? It must open its mind to new ideas and business models, and what better place to get a fresh start than a young city that hasn't been corrupted, Orlando, FL. Fourth Quarter Entertainment presents Music Industry Seminar 2008 May 10th at The Plaza Theatre.
