Too Lost has announced it is expanding its offering with an ‘Office Hours’ weekly in-house community meeting group to help creators expand their playing field. The music and technology company already offers SaaS solutions for independent music creators—Office Hours builds upon that with knowledge sessions tailored to budding creators.
The following was created in collaboration with Too Lost, a company DMN is proud to be partnered with.
Hosted and created by Damien Ritter, Too Lost’s Director of Communication, the new ‘Office Hours’ will take place at the Too Lost offices on Mondays at 12 pm PST / 3 pm EST—while being streamed on Too Lost’s Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter presence. The weekly meeting is open to any indie artists, producers, and managers who are interested in learning strategies for growth as an artist in 2024.
A wide array of topics will be covered during these ‘Office Hours’ sessions that includes distribution, marketing, merchandising, publishing, touring, management, and more. Have a question about the industry that you want answered? That’s exactly what these ‘Office Hours’ are intended to help with for budding creatives in the music industry.
Host Damien Ritter has founded and grown a number of companies including The Music Entrepreneur Club and Black & Orange Management. He is also the former Co-Founder of Funk Volume, a Los Angeles-based record label that has been cited as a leader among independent rap labels. Funk Volume has achieved consistent Top 10 placements on Billboard and iTunes charts as well as media coverage in Forbes, Billboard, Spin, LA Weekly and others.
“Building and running an independent music business is extremely difficult,” Ritter told Digital Music News. “‘Office Hours’ gives artists and their teams a trusted and knowledgeable new source for information and a community to turn to for support along their journey.”
‘Office Hours’ weekly meetings have already featured some industry notable figures including Megh Vakharia (CEO of Symphony OS), Yan Snead (Music Programmer, SiriusXM + Pandora), Drew de Leon (Co-Founder of Digilogue), and Kevin Daragheh (Director of A&R at Genius Distro).
