Featuring Chris Robley!

We are fortunate to have as another great guest speaker, Chris Robley! Chris has 18 years of success in the music industry, as well as his own experience as a critically praised songwriter and published poet. He is currently with BandLab after spending more than 15 years with CD Baby as co-creator and host of the DIY Musician Podcast, and primary author and editor of the DIY Musician Blog as he developed a deep rapport with musicians across many genres and demographics. He now employs his formula for actionable and empathetic content to educate artists in the BandLab ecosystem (and beyond), helping them level-up their skills, make their best music, reach the right listeners, and build a business from their art. Chris will be talking about music business marketing, technology and monetization.

It's very important for everyone to attend because we will have nominations for the 2024 DSA Board of Directors. So please be there to make your wishes known, especially if you would like to be on the board or nominate someone.
Also, this is the last opportunity for this year to get your songs critiqued by industry pros

Featuring Dae Bogan!

 

  Dae Bogan serves as Head of Third-Party Partnerships for The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC), where he leads The MLC’s strategy for engaging third-party entities to support initiatives in rights administration, data management, operations, and membership services.  He will be able to give us some great insights into the issue of mechanical licensing and its importance to all of us as songwriters, so you definitely won't want to miss this one. Here is his bio.

Dae Bogan serves as Head of Third-Party Partnerships for The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC), where he leads The MLC’s strategy for engaging third-party entities to support initiatives in rights administration, data management, operations, and membership services.

A passionate music creators' rights advocate who enjoys exploring the global music rights landscape through the lens of business and technology, Bogan is also an adjunct lecturer at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. In this role, Bogan develops and teaches the music industry entrepreneurship course for which he was recognized in Billboard's "The 15 Best Music Business Schools In 2017."

Prior to joining The MLC and teaching at UCLA, Bogan’s passion for innovation at the intersection of music and technology led him to found three companies: music rights administration technology company TuneRegistry, unclaimed music royalties and licenses search engine RoyaltyClaim, and in-store music video network Maven Promo. Each of these companies has since been acquired.  

Early in his career, Bogan worked directly and more creatively with recording artists, songwriters, music producers, and DJs as the owner-operator of an independent record label, a music publishing company, and a boutique artist management firm before pivoting into technology in 2012. 
 
Dae holds an MA in Music Industry Administration with a focus on music publishing and copyright administration from California State University, Northridge and a BA in sociology from the University of California. He resides in Los Angeles, California where he organizes SoCal Music Industry Professionals, an informal networking community of music industry professionals who live in Southern California.
