The goals of Show-me- today, getting into the music business independently is full of constraints and difficulties. Show-me was created to allow these entrepreneurial artists to be seen and heard in the flesh by music business specialists, as well as online. Show-me also offers them several useful tools.
At the end of the event, each nominee will go home with: a booking date at a festival or club, the filming and broadcast of their showcase in HD, a series of quality photographs, advice from programmers, bookers and other music business professionals, and lastly, the chance to make a studio recording.
Today, a large number of musicians operate in the Do It Yourself mode. However, at a certain stage, it is often difficult for them to develop their careers internationally. Show-me is the first digital live music forum dedicated to self-entrepreneur artists in solo and duo format.
It features the showcases of 10 of the best DIY artists of the moment, selected this summer via an online competition. Show-me also serves to connect these new independent artists with specially invited professionals who will inform and coach them.
Lastly, Show-me offers a collective music writing exercise in a professional studio that helps the musicians to forge contacts and practice group collaboration.
Last year, during the first edition of Show-me, some nominated artists were able to launch their careers after their participation.
