Thanks to the vision of David Koch, the Christian Music Industry came together last week in Nashville for the first annual Indie Ignite Music Conference. I learned A LOT!
Some of my favorite 'nuggets of wisdom'from the speakers included:
"You have to be both the boxer and the trainer as an indie artist." -Staci Frenes, Indie Artist
"People buy you, not your cd." -Erik Bledsoe, Indie Artist
"Believe in yourself, you are the beginning." -John Schlitt, Indie Artist and former lead singer of Petra
"If you want to be a great songwriter, you better develop some tough skin." -Brian White, hit songwriter
"Character reveals itself over time; be patient for the right relationships." -Michael Blanton, President, Be Music Entertainment
"This is AWESOME!!!"- Grammy-winning artist Rebecca Saint James
