CIMA Junos

CIMA & SaskMusic Present Lunch & Learn: Release Strategies

CIMA and SaskMusic will be hosting a Lunch & Learn session during Juno Week, so come on down and learn about release strategies!

Topic: What does it take to conduct a successful release strategy within an ever-changing digital space? Simply releasing new music is not often enough to attract audiences to your gigs and Spotify page so what should be considered before pressing that final master? Are there specific approaches to releasing for particular genres (Alternative Rock, Folk, and Country) or formats (single, EP, LP) or is there a general blueprint consistent with any type of release? Learn how each of these experts address these issues and more in the struggle to make sure that their music’s heard.

Nike Stratis

Featured Mentor - Niko Stratis

Niko Stratis is a Toronto based writer, consultant and manager of their own independent record company, Headless Owl Music. They have previously worked as an Executive Director of a Music Industry Association, president of music festivals, concert promoter and more. With Headless Owl, they have decided to make a move in the industry from primarily releasing, selling and promoting albums to working as a consultant and facilitator to increase awareness, visibility and opportunity for trans and queer artists in the industry. They also still work with artists as an artist manager - releasing records, sending CD's to radio stations, networking and writing what feels like a million emails. Niko is a trans woman, one of few working in the industry in a public capacity, and hopes to hear from, help and boost more queer and trans artists.

Niko joins the Career Tracks program to provide consultation and assistance with questions including: album release planning, college radio mailouts and tracking, PR, marketing, researching & securing funding, networking, tour planning & logistics, and artist budgeting.
