The 6th Annual Grassroots Music Seminar and Concert Series Tour

Purpose

Over the past few decades there has been a slow but steady disconnect developing within the music industry specifically within hip hop, rock and r&b. This disconnect has unknowingly become a thorn within the development of a solid future and outlook for progress with the key relationship needed to withstand the test of time. Seeing the developments through technology over the years we have seen many different changes which not only benefited the independent entity but created a more even playing field for artists today. Unfortunately with all of this happening over time it overshadowed the key element and foundational relationship keeping everything together. The artist, djs, and the significance of the knowledge of the business. This crucial relationship was what started a movement which turned into a multibillion dollar industry. As time went on and technology intervened there developed a disconnect between the artists, djs, and the knowledge of the business As this occurred and the industry evolved, this disconnect worsened and knowledge of the game itself started to become irrelevant in the eyes of the artists. In turn this also created an invisible barrier between artist and Djs through lack of knowledge.
