To bridge the knowledge gap on copyrights and royalties among artistes and creators of music, Greysage Consulting is partnering with Ten Strings Music Institute to rally stakeholders for a forum tagged Secure Da Bag.
The one-day forum is scheduled to hold in Lagos on December 3, at Ten Strings Music Institute, Lekki, Lagos.
Copyright infringements and piracy have continued to undermine the creative sector. In spite of these setbacks, the industry has been described as one of the fastest growing in the world.
The resource persons are producers such as Fliptyce and DJ Coublon, songwriter Klem and guitarist/producer Fiokee.
Also expected is Oyindamola Ameen, who has been responsible for stirring up the career of top producer, Krizbeats.
Convener of the event Akinyemi Ayinoluwa, noted that a lack of enlightenment among Nigerian creatives is the bane of the industry.
“Many songwriters and record producers do not understand the power of their copyright and have suffered for their ignorance or nonchalance,” the entertainment lawyer said.
“It is our hope that with this event we will address the knowledge gap and empower attendees with valuable information and resources that will guarantee economic prosperity as creators of copyright.
“We will give free legal advice to some of the attendees after the event. They will also get to meet with some of the finest minds in the music industry. There will also be mentor-ship opportunities for impressive record producers, instrumentalists, and songwriters.”
