Aspiring musicians, promoters, event managers and artist managers are invited to attend this year's IGNITE Seminars - an official event being held as part of New Zealand Music Month.

The winner of the ninth annual Taite Music Prize is the inimitable Aldous Harding for her bewitching sophomore album ‘Party’, while The Miltones were awarded the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut 2018.

Producer, mixer and engineer extraordinaire, Anna Laverty (Florence and The Machine, Nick Cave, Courtney Barnett) will be taking up residence at North Melbourne’s Newmarket Studio for a six month stay, commencing June 1st. 

During a week of whirlwind member events held in Los Angeles, Nashville and London, APRA AMCOS Head of Member Services and incoming CEO Dean Ormston announced that the music rights organisation is offering dedicated workspace to its members and their managers who are increasingly travelling to those cities for professional opportunities. 

The youth development programme IGNITE is opening its doors to up-and-coming producers, with three of New Zealand's leading producers and engineers announced as mentors.

We wanted to let you know that Unsigned Only is running a special two-week promotion, "Win Some Love," from February 14-28, 2018 for all artists not signed to a "major" record label (indies are totally fine).
