“Typically around this time of year, we host Music Expo in-person in Miami, but due to Covid-19 that was not possible. So, we decided to launch an online edition bringing the personal experience of Music Expo to attendees even closer- at home. Our first edition will include several of the speakers from Miami, and we are grateful for their support. There will be opportunities to ask questions, share tracks and beats and receive feedback, and win prizes and giveaways from sponsors,” shared Loic Maestracci, Founder of Music Expo.
Throughout May 2020, Music Expo will also host a series of FREE weekly workshops to keep music makers connected. For complete information regarding the online live stream sessions and to register, visit https://www.musicexpo.co/onlinesessions.
