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

Phase II SoundLab — Mentors and team

Meet the Mentors of NEST: Our diverse team of experienced mentors has played a pivotal role in nurturing and shaping the music of our artists in the second phase, where artists produce, publish, distribute, and promote their songs. With their extensive expertise in various facets of the music industry, these mentors have not only supervised the creative process but also inspired our artists to explore new dimensions in their music. Their guidance has been instrumental in transforming ideas into polished, innovative productions. Each mentor has brought a unique perspective, enriching the incubation experience and significantly contributing to the growth and success of our artists.
