Panel talk: Ten87 x Tribe - Being Independent*

A talk on what it takes to be independent in the music industry, and the reasons behind the sudden growth in independent artists and labels.
The last four years have seen a continuous growth in the number of indie labels. These now make up over a quarter of the global market share of music consumption. But what does it take to be independent? What’s behind the sudden growth in independent artists and labels?
Is it the democratisation of the creative process?
Is it a counter action to major labels and mainstream culture, and the need for more creative freedom?
Does the spirit of community resonate more powerfully with those at the forefront of music culture?
And how do independent labels first get off the ground?
Organised by Ten87 Studios in conjunction with TRIBE TALKS, this discussion will delve into these questions and explore the challenges met by those who have taken the leap into the indie world, with a select panel of some of London’s most exciting artists and label owners.
Speakers:
Matt Ross – Advisory Board Lead, Don’t Sleep
Jason Ngimbi – Founder of Polarface Recordings and A&R at Parlophone
Brian D’Souza – DJ, sound artist, producer, founder of Highlife, Swell and Ambient Flow
Moderator: Celetia Martin – Artist Manager & Creative Programme Director at TRIBE.
