TYE's A&R Sessions
A&R Sessions - NOT ANOTHER TALK PANEL!
Community. It's at the heart of what we do at Tileyard.
The A&R sessions are conversational interviews with some of the biggest artists, producers, A&R Scouts, publishers, labels, managers in the music industry.
What is an A&R session?
A&R stands for Artists and Repertoire.
These are sessions where TYE invites A&R professionals (talented scouts) behind record labels who discover develop and sign new artists.
Hosted in front of a live audience, they nurture and provide space to receive feedback on your music from professionals working commercially within the music industry. It’s a must-attend for anyone wishing to pursue a career in music behind the scenes or center stage. On the night, attendees are entered into a draw where we listen to around twenty songs every session!
