Ask the mentors series feat. Zeale and jeremy roye // july-august ’22

We are kicking off July with our new Ask the Mentors Series! This series was built to create more opportunities for artists to have a direct line to music industry experts. The Ask the Mentors Series will feature guest artists and industry mentors to speak on relevant, essential and future-focused topics throughout the year. We want to give our artists the chance to connect, up their savvy and have guided creative discussions with the expert music mentors who have been in their shoes.

The series is an extension of the Artist Consultation Program under our AMF HQ public programming. Sign up will be required to participate in the program and limited slots are available. Please follow us to find out when sign up is open for each guest music mentor feature.
