SEE THE WORKSHOP DETAILS HERE!!!!

- Please explain to our community why they should book your workshop
I was building this workshop with the young me in mind, this is the kind of information I would like to have had when I wad starting my career as a young musician. The music business is a complicated place and it is ever-changing, and fast! This workshop will help you see things clearly as you navigate in this world.

- How did you become a music business expert?
An expert is a big word, however I would say there are a few reasons why I am a good person to give this workshop:

I have 17 years of experience as a musician and producer and 8 years from them are also as a music company owner as Management, a record label, a publisher and a booker.
I am a person who is very interested in sharing and passing on my knowledge to more people in order to help them avoid my past mistakes and become better.
I am very interested in the power imbalance and structures of the music business and am very much interested in trying to help shif the power from the music companies to the artists hands or at least to share it equally.
I am one of the founders of Tzlilim, the Israeli musicians union. We established it in order to help change the industry from the inside and give support to the musicians.

- Why is the topic important?
There are many reasons why the topics we will be touching on are important to you, but to name a few:

It will make you more knowledgeable in your field, which is something that musicians often underestimate, resulting often with bad consequences for them.
It will give you tools to use in your day to day work as a musician.
It will help you understand better how money is being made in the industry and perhaps how you could also make some if it :)

- What quote is the best source of inspiration for you?

A few good quotes that I take with me everywhere I go are:

"People used to make records, as in the record of an event, the event of people playing music in a room
Now everything is cross marketing.
It's about sunglasses and shoes, or guns and drugs.
You choose."
Ani DiFranco

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
Albert Einstein

RAN NIR is also a great musician, see one of his latest music videos here:

Daniel is a musician and cultural manager. It became apparent early on that he is passionate about being on stage but also likes to pull the strings behind the scenes. After his studies in musicology he started his own business, played shows as a musician in front of 10-10,000 music enthusiasts, in the orchestra pit of Berlin theaters or on small stages with musical readings. As a sideman on the guitar, he continues to travel a lot and enjoys being involved in various pop projects: sometimes as a producer, sometimes as an arranger, musical director or cowriter. In January 2022, thanks to the Neustart Kultur grant, he was able to record his own and independent artistic creation in the form of a live studio session in sound and vision. The practical experience as a musician proved to be an ideal complement to his work as a cultural manager. As an "enabler" of culture, he has managed non-profit youth music projects as well as vernissages or orchestral productions at the Elbphilharmonie. One of his most important management activities was his work as artist manager for the multi-award-winning jazz drummer and composer Diego Pinera, which lasted almost 10 years. The highlight of this collaboration was certainly the awarding of the ECHO Jazz and the nomination as Grammy Nominee. Daniel was allowed to supervise various international high-profile productions for Diego Pinera over the years. Their common professional path ended in 2020 in best friendship. In order to put the finishing touches on his professional experience gathered from 15 years, he completed an additional degree in cultural management in 2019. He is currently organizing the Berlin Jazztreff on behalf of the Landesmusikrat Berlin for the sixth year in a row and is involved in the development of a complementary service, the Brexit Infopoint, as part of the Touring Artists advisory network since August 2022.
