This Is America – where you can sign mega-star Childish Gambino and A&R the work that won both Record and Song of the Year at the GRAMMYs – all before your 30th birthday.


Yes it's back! The across-the-board acclaimed, uber-inspiring #NEXTGEN_NOW series is set to make a return to the Music Biz Conference! Join us as we feature a panel of young forward-thinking music industry influencers who will detail their unique journeys to the top of the music biz. Between winning The Voice and then reimagining a career, thriving as a top executive at Spotify, working on projects with top Latin artists such as J Balvin and Karol G, and solidifying a place as one of today's most influential music business journalists – these young voices are proving that age does not always equal authority.


Our panel's generation isn't necessarily "next" – it's NOW – and yours can be too. Join us as #NEXTGEN_NOW leaves you inspired, ready to rethink, and perhaps on your way to re-write your narrative... and the future of the music industry.
