Phase I Global Beats — Speakers
Meet the Speakers of NEST: Our array of expert speakers has significantly enriched our program by delivering masterclasses on a variety of topics in the music industry. Their deep knowledge and insights have been crucial in providing our artists with a global perspective of the industry. Through these sessions, artists have gained a comprehensive understanding of the current state and latest trends in the music world. The speakers' contributions have been pivotal in developing the artists' skills, boosting their confidence, and equipping them with the tools they need to navigate the industry successfully. Their dedication to sharing knowledge has truly paved the way for our artists to engage deeply with the industry and its possibilities.
“NEST represents the diversity of the Palestinian music scene. What these young musicians have in common is their thirst for knowledge in all aspects of the music field: recording, live, tech, and first and foremost the awareness of their rights. I was proud to share my experience with such a talented and promising generation!”
Speaker: Habib Achour from Sacem
