KICKING off a four-part series, "The Role of a Record Label in Your Career as a Recording Artist" music business workshop takes place on Friday, March 19. The first workshop will be presented by Reno Ursal, CEO of Rhythm Drive Records, a young independent record label that is home to recording artists Alvendia, DJ Midimack, and Malyssa.

Ursal has been contributing significantly to the growth of the Asian-American music industry in the San Francisco Bay Area. He also participated in the first Asian American Music Conference (AAMC) as one of the guest speakers. The goal of this workshop is to tackle how a record label can aid, and sometimes be a detriment, to an artist's growth in the music industry. The workshop will be held at the Renaissance Center at 275 5th Street in San Francisco and the cost is 10 dollars.

This event is part of a four-part workshop and a 10-city networking mixer series, all leading up to the 2nd Annual AAMC, which takes place on Saturday, November 13. The AAMC was created to unify and strengthen the Asian-American music communities nationally. This year's conference will include workshops, panels, information booths, educational resources and networking
opportunities for all Asian-Americans pursuing a career in the music industry. The AAMC will include for the first time an Asian-American music showcase, introducing Asian-American acts from all across the nation.
