As far as conferences go, GigSalad has worked alongside some top entertainment industry leaders. We love to shake hands, learn about new trends and technology, and show what we can offer our users. That’s why we’re pretty excited to be a part of CD Baby’s first ever conference in Chicago. If this event is anything like their company culture, it’ll likely be fun and instrumental for the independent artist.
Partnering with CD Baby seems like an obvious fit to us, but we’ll tell you what we had in mind when we accepted this opportunity. As a viable resource to working musicians, both GigSalad and CD Baby work hard to help artists make a living doing what they love. There are no big record labels, agents, or managers required to get your music out there. Simply your raw talent, the DIY mentality, and our tools can help you. Our goals are aligned for our users, and that’s the first step in solidifying a relationship.
After meeting CD Baby CEO, Tracy Maddux, at Canadian Music Week, we also discovered a shared culture and style. Both businesses are staffed with musicians and artists of all kinds who respect the talent and drive of our customers. By mutually supporting each other, we’ll both be better. And what that means is our members will be better, happier, and more profitable.
So to start, we’ll be sharing some tips with you at the conference. We’ll show you how to use our system for more gig opportunities, how to make more money with your music, how to market yourself effectively, and how to use those nontraditional gigs to put your talent in front of more eyes and ears.
We would love to meet you in Chicago and hear about your experiences. Where are you in your gigging career? What tools have helped you succeed? What’s holding you back from being where you want to be?
