SWAM:MO aims to build on the successes of previous SWAM exchanges by providing WA managers free access to high profile networking and professional development opportunities at Music Matters, which is Asia’s highest profile music export event, and one of the world’s biggest.Manager and Walking Horse Music head Matt Johnson attended the conference last year and recommended the experience. “Music Matters 2014 was a lot of fun and provided a great opportunity for The Love Junkies to start developing international markets, resulting in some tangible outcomes for the band,” commented Matt. “It was well-facilitated and provided lots of casual and formal networking opportunities for myself and the band – a positive first step for managers of WA acts looking for opportunities outside Australia.”With the opportunity valued at over $3,000 each, WAM is looking for one emerging-mid PLUS one mid–high level manager, so if you are based in WA and manage WA artists then we’d love to hear from you.
