The landscape of music is shifting, and so are the roles that guide it. This week’s conversation brings together seasoned professionals, Wendy Verwey Bekker and Thokozile Dlamini, who’ve worked within major labels, independent powerhouses, and innovative distribution platforms. Together, we’ll explore what sustainability looks like for the alternative artist today, what development and support truly mean in our context, and how to build the kind of career, scene, and infrastructure you wish existed.

Whether you’re self-managed, just starting out, or in your pivot era, this is a chance to get clarity on the terrain, and the tools it takes to walk it.
