#itsrainingmentors #aimmusic. In partnership with @musicfeeds

We were thrilled to be involved with @vividsydney 2022 in partnership with AIM’s music startup incubator, iHUB for our "Future of Music Sounds Different" event. The iHUB team hosted a panel of industry experts that focused on the inevitable evolution of the music industry, the innovation already underway and the companies that are at the helm of this change, including our incubator's own music startups! The event also featured performances by Alon Ilsar @airsticksguy and talented Composition & Production student Ichika Asato (swipe for her amazing multimedia project).

We then hosted a viewing party on the rooftop where attendees were treated to an amazing view of the fireworks and lights displayed across the harbour. What a night!

Presenting a celebration of the most influential American songs, our Music Theatre students are taking the stage tonight, 15th June.

Good luck to all students and staff involved!

The very legendary Murray Cook from the OG Wiggles along with fellow @soulmoversband band member, the amazing soul singer Lizzie Mack, just absolutely made our day!

Chatting to a group of our Management and Performance students on campus and online, we got to dive into the business sides of the industry and what it was like to co-create a global phenomenon in children’s music.

Murray is the second @thewiggles member to visit our Sydney campus and we are so happy he could swing by and say hi!

Thanks for visiting @cook.murray & @lizzie_mack_soul_mover.
