INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Indiana Black Expo is pleased to announce that the I Love Music Music Conference presented by Rico Love will take place on Friday, July 16th and Saturday, July 17th as part of its 46th Summer Celebration inside the Indiana Convention Center. The conference will feature Grammy award winning songwriters, producers and singers. Workshops will cover topics on Songwriting, Marketing, A&R and Publishing. Attendees will also hear lectures from industry experts on how to effectively navigate in the industry and have the opportunity to participate in Q&A during panel discussions.
The music conference is part of the vision of Producer and Songwriter Rico Love who performed during the post-game concert during Circle City Classic®. "My mission was to create a music conference that gives you the tools and information to be greater. Not just stories of how I made it and hype inspiration that fades when you leave the conference. I'm from the Midwest so what better place to launch than Indiana Black Expo," said Producer Rico Love. "I will also be on the lookout for new talent and I look forward to a long lasting partnership with IBE hosting the I Love Music Conference," added Rico Love.
Rico Love will be joined by Grammy Award-winning Songwriters and Producers Bryan-Michael Cox and Teddy Riley. "Having performed at IBE in the past, I understand the importance of having a Music Conference that really impacts the community. Rico love is a well-respected and Grammy Award-winning Producer who is working with me on a project now, so it makes perfect sense for us to team up for his music conference. We both understand how to make hits and how to develop talent. I will be there sharing my knowledge on what it takes to make it in music," said Producer Teddy Riley.
Additional conference speakers and artists scheduled to perform on the Interactive Stage in the Exhibition Hall as part of the conference will be announced. Producer Rico Love is looking for talent and songwriters and singers are encouraged to upload their soundcloud link or Facebook artist page when they register.
