Following the success of last year’s inaugural panel, this series will once again offer an in-depth look at how a song evolves from creation to chart success.
The “Cycle of A Song” series gives a unique, behind-the-scenes exploration of the journey a song takes to become a hit, showcasing the vital roles social media, streaming platforms, radio play, and touring can play in building an artist’s audience. This year, DMS will focus on how these elements work together in the industry to create a chart-topping hit, offering attendees invaluable insights into the lifecycle of a song.
