Our 5th Annual SONA Summit – Songwriting – Past, Present, Future? will be held on Sunday, September 15, 2019 from 6-10pm at the historic Village Studios. This year’s panel discussion will be “Songwriting: The Job”: What it once was, what it is now & what we hope it will be (if we can save it!). A public conversation about the evolution of the songwriter career and how it’s changed because of streaming. Hear from the perspective of a songwriter who has had #1 hits in four consecutive decades and from songwriters who are having #1 hits THIS WEEK!
PANEL GUESTS:
- Rick Nowels (Madonna, Adele, Lana Del Ray)
- Jesse St.John (Charli XCX, Camila Cabello, Lizzo “Truth Hurts”)
- Nija (Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Cardi B)
- Moderator: Erika Nuri-Taylor (Jason Derulo, Meghan Trainor, Janelle Monáe)
PLUS:
- Our lips are sealed about “the musical.” You’ll just need to be there for the big reveal. #FUN!!!!
- We’ll be sending out a list of some of our AMAZING auction items later next week.
