Misic Lane Festival Okinawa is an international showcase festival that invites music professionals from Asian cities and matches them with artists. It is an international showcase festival that aims to build a music network between Okinawa and Asia and create a new music industry from Okinawa City(Koza).
The showcase festival known as "SXSW (South By South West)" held every March in Austin,U.S.A.,is also held in various Asian cities and has been a global success story.
Artists will be selected from domestic and international applicants (some artists will be booked by the organizer.)
Selection will be based on the quality of the music and performances, as well as an understanding of what it means to be a showcase festival.
We will match artists with DELEGATES(music festival organizers/promoters/label representatives/media, etc.)invited mainly from Asia, with showcase live performances in the streets of Okinawa City (Koza). In addition to the showcase live performances, we will hold a wide range of events such as 1-on-1 meetings between artists and DELEGATES, conferences, and hackathons aimed at "enriching the future of music to discover a new future of music through direct dialogue that differs from online.
In addition, the conference and networking for BtoB will be enhanced with Norikazu Yamaguchi(Studio Entre Inc.) as DX Advisor and Program Director.
