Closing the distance between talent and the industry
By @peopleplacesthingsmiami
📆 NEXT EQ: TUE, OCT 20
↓ RSVP for No. 4
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
After III Points weekend, EQ No.4 brings the people who place music in TV, film, ads and games to Ampersand on Tuesday, October 20.

Sync is how a song lands in a show, a movie or a campaign, and the people who own the song get paid for it.

It’s also Billboard Latin Music Week, with the Latin Billboards on Thursday, so a lot of the music industry is in Miami that week.

EQ is a DIY music industry summit for Miami’s artists, producers and the people building careers with them. It exists to give Miami’s artists the access their talent already earned.

A panel of people who work in sync will break down how songs get picked for placement and what you need ready before you pitch.

Free headshots by @3.2.juanflashstudios for the first hour, so your press kit is ready when someone asks for it.

The Demo Room is back. Play your unreleased music for that same panel and hear whether it’s ready to be placed.

📅 Tuesday, October 20
🕕 6 to 10PM
📍 Ampersand Studios, 31 NE 17 St

The room is capped and every RSVP gets reviewed, so everyone you meet works in music.

Comment EQ and we’ll send you the link to RSVP.

That's EQ No. 3 in the books! The room was full of people building in music.

Thank you to everyone who pulled up. Fourteen artists played the Demo Room and put unreleased music in front of the whole room.

Big love to @ampersandstudios for the home, and to @sipsalsi and @topochicousa for keeping the room quenched all night.

Post your photos and videos from last night and tag @eqmusicsummit. We're reposting all week, so show us your angle.

The next EQ is October 20th. RSVPs are live now. Link in our bio.

Now comment the artist whose demo stuck with you. Let's get them some love. taken in Ampersand Studios Miami by @eqmusicsummit

Nobody books you off a link to your SoundCloud. They ask for a press kit, and most artists either don't have one or have one that's quietly costing them work.

EQ No. 3 is where you fix that.

EQ is our monthly music industry summit. One night a month we put Miami's artists, producers, engineers, and DJs in the same room as the people who can move a career. It exists to give Miami's artists the access their talent already earned.

📅 Tuesday, September 22. 
🕕 6 to 10PM. 
📍Ampersand Studios. 
🎟️ Free. Limited Capacity.

Come at 6 for a free professional headshot by @3.2.juanflashstudios, so you walk out with a shot you can actually use. Then Miami designers who build EPKs for a living show you what belongs in your press kit and what's bloat. The Demo Room is back too: play a minute of something unreleased, get honest feedback, and maybe hear a DJ in the room say they'll play it out.

Designers, are welcome to come through too. The artists here are your next clients, and if you’ve ever wanted to learn how a kit gets built, you'll see it live.

Dress code: come as your next cover. You're getting a headshot, so show up as the version of you that belongs on the release. 

We'll have Salsi on site, a sparkling agave cocktail made by locals as a love letter to Miami, plus Topo Chico.

The room is capped and everyone in it works in music, so everyone you meet is building something too.

Before you sign anything, know what you actually want from your music.

Entertainment attorney Somara Jacques opened her workshop at EQ with the first question every artist should answer. 

There are really only three things you can do with your music:
• Own it and keep it.

• Give a song away for money and use that to fund your next project.

• Leverage it. Sign with the industry for a few years, then build the position to buy it back later, the way a Taylor Swift or a Drake can.

Most artists pick without knowing they picked. Decide first, then read the contract.

This is one piece of Contracts, Decoded, a workshop from EQ, our monthly DIY music industry summit in Miami produced by PeoplePlacesThingsMiami. 

The full breakdown is on our YouTube, with the contract she reads linked so you can follow along. Comment WORKSHOP for the link!

Make sure your'e following @eqmusicsummit to catch the next one.

The room was full of exactly the people it was built for.

If making music in Miami feels lonely, it's not in your head. The people who could actually help you, the managers, the engineers, the lawyers, they're not in your DMs. They're behind a wall. So most artists here do it alone until they burn out or leave.

We built a room where that wall isn't there. One night a month, you're in that room. A real industry pro teaches you the stuff nobody explains, like how to read a contract before it costs you. You play your music and hear the honest truth about it. And you leave with a professional headshot you can actually use.

The next one is September 22. RSVPs drop soon, so keep an eye out and we'll see you in the room.

If you came out and got your photo taken with @3.2.juanflashstudios, check your email, yours is waiting for you. 

If you don't see it, check your spam, and shoot us a DM if it's still not there.

Big shout out to @3.2.juanflashstudios for blessing everyone with these amazing headshots.

EQ is our monthly music industry summit, built to give Miami's independent creatives the tools and access to actually move their careers forward. The free headshots are one piece of that. Every edition brings real industry education and a room full of the people who can help you get where you're going. The next one is on September 22, and RSVPs drop soon, so keep an eye out. taken in Ampersand Studios Miami by @eqmusicsummit

To every artist who feels like they're doing this alone in Miami, this room is for you.

EQ is our monthly music industry summit. Once a month, independent artists, producers, and engineers get in one room with the people who can actually move a career. You get free professional headshots, a workshop that teaches you something the industry usually keeps to itself, and The Demo Room, where you play a minute of unreleased music and hear honest feedback from the room.

If you missed this one, the next one is September 22. Save the date, start requesting the night off of work. More info coming soon!

LIMITED CAPACITY! Comment EQ to RSVP!

The same question has landed in our DMs every week since September. 

"When is EQ coming back."

Well, we've got news! EQ is back August 18! Oh, and it's monthly now.

EQ is Miami's DIY music industry summit by @peopleplacesthingsmiami, built to close the distance between this city's talent and the industry that signs it. Artists, producers, engineers, rappers, and bands share one room with the people who can actually move their careers, and everyone walks out knowing more than they walked in with. The first edition drew more than a hundred creatives, and Ampersand Studios made it the event's home.

No. 2 runs August 18, 6 to 10PM, at Ampersand Studios.

Entertainment attorney Somara Jacques joins us again to lead Contracts, Decoded, a workshop where she walks the room through a mock contract line by line so predatory deals stop catching Miami's artists.

The Demo Room follows. You play one minute of your unreleased music and the room gives you real feedback.

Free headshots for the first hour and a half courtesy of @3.2.juanflashstudios. Come early to take advantage!

The room is capped and the list is vetted. Vendor spots are limited.

to everyone who showed up to EQ: thank you. you made that room feel exactly how we imagined it.

the energy, the connections, the conversations that kept going after the panel ended... that's what this is about. building a community that actually supports each other.

so the real question: should we do this again?

drop a comment and let us know if EQ is something you want to see more of
