SUMMARY:Foundations
DESCRIPTION:The Music Managers Forum Aotearoa (MMF) is proud to announce FOUNDATIONS\, a refreshed evolution of its long running Back to Basics seminar series. Presented in collaboration with Ka Korokī Ka Maranga | Māori Music Industry Collective\, FOUNDATIONS is a free two hour workshop for artists and self managers in the early stages of building a music career. \nFor this session\, we will be joined by Mikee Carpenter (Manager – Georgia Lines) and Minnie Robberds (Artist\, There’s A Tuesday) \nSECURE YOUR SPOT HERE: https://www.mmf.co.nz/news-pages/2026/7/16/vgjzb0thbu20b6fey3l2uvqk9ihm51 \nFOUNDATIONS was born out of a moment of reflection for MMF. With the loss of long time Back to Basics presenter Lorraine Barry in 2025\, the team felt it was the right time to relook at the programme she had shaped for so many years. Lorraine was a dedicated advocate for emerging artists and managers\, and FOUNDATIONS carries her commitment to helping the next generation navigate the industry with confidence. \nThe workshop covers the building blocks every artist needs from day one\, including the NZ music ecosystem and funding pathways\, rights and royalties\, finding and growing a real fanbase\, releasing music with a team around you\, understanding the business side of the industry\, patience in building a career\, and the financial realities of a life in music. Each section is followed by open Q&A\, giving attendees the chance to bring their own questions to experienced guests. \n“Lorraine Barry was a mentor to me for over eight years and someone I always turned to for advice\, as well as being a great friend. It’s an honour to carry on the work she was so passionate about in artist development\, on behalf of the MMF.” – Mikee Carpinterp[a \n
