Nobody respects you as an artiste until you make it big. At least that’s what many among us imagine. Often, for aspiring musicians, music is labelled as a distraction, a hobby at most. Many parents are not supportive enough to accept the choices their children make when they decide to enter the music industry. And rightly so because — where’s the money?

The Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS), a music licensing non-profit organisation chaired by famous lyricist Javed Akhtar, in collaboration with Mumbai Music Institute is hosting a Copyright in Music workshop. Led by Rumpa Banerjee, IPRS’ marketing and communication head, the workshop will discuss about copyrights in music, music licensing, rights of creators and most importantly — how to turn music into a business.
