Music Tech Fest

Music Tech Fest is a festival for people working in the music industry. It’s not just an event, but a way of life—it’s all about the relationships you build and how you can help each other out.

The festival was founded by Benji Rogers, who worked with Pledge Music to create an online platform for musicians to connect directly with their fans and sell their music online. Benji then went on to found Dot Blockchain Media (DBCM), where he created Mediachain Labs, an open source protocol that helps artists get paid when their content is used online (for example: if someone uses one of your songs in a video). Mediachain Labs was later acquired by Spotify, which became part of the Universal Music Group.
