Urban Development Kick Off 2020 With Industry Take Over Seminar To Close Out Winter Series

With the UK music industry already back in full swing for 2020, award-winning music development organisation Urban Development is upping the ante with the final seminar of its latest Industry Take Over Seminar Series, which will be taking place at Samsung KX in Kings Cross, in conjunction with Universal Music, AWAL, Sentric, Vivendi, We Plug Good Music, My Runway Group, WX, and She.Said.So.

For this series Urban Development will partner with SheSaidSo, to discuss and investigate intersectionality in the music industry, and how your gender, race, sexual orientation and other forms of social stratification impact your career in music.

The seminar aptly titled Equal Opps or Nah will include speakers such as Renowned Management (Wretch 32, Hamzaa) artist manager and A&R Ella Bonai, Metropolis Music and Live Nation UK promoter Alexandra Ampofo, who has worked with the likes of Goldlink, Kojey Radical, and Ghetts, and fast-rising North London rapper and producer Louis VI.

Hosted by Capital Xtra’s Remel London, the seminar session will not only offer panel discussions and expert music industry panellists sharing their specialist knowledge, experiences and skills, but also a chance to ask questions in a dedicated Q&A segment, and very much desired networking opportunities, making Industry Take Over Seminar Series the foremost place to learn from, and exchange contact with industry movers and shakers, build peer-to-peer collaboration and mentoring, and start a music revolution.
