NEW SPEAKERS
The speaker list to the National Entertainment Industry Conference August 1-2 in Sydney grows with the addition of emerging artist Julia Darling to the Artists panel that kicks off the event and world renowned composer, electronic musician, jingle maker and record producer Andrew Thomas Wilson. While Julia will share the pressures and oddities of being picked off the street as a busker, Andrew will be on the session discussing getting music into film and television or advertising as well as premiums or special products. Andrew has composed the music for some of the top commercials that rattle through your head in the shower (winning major awards for ads for Coke, Toyota, McDonalds, Mastercard) as well as a number of film scores and even Bob Downe's last lounge jazz album as well as the music for four World Expos. Emmanuel Candi, Executive Director of the Australian Record Industry Association has been added to the Industry Issues Panel on August 2. Also just added onto our Artist Panel is Chris Dubrow of Insurge, the angry young man with the massive website who'll bring a harder edge to The Prince and Princesses Formerly Known As Artist session.
