Freelancing in the music industry can be rewarding, but it often comes with uncertainty. Income fluctuates, projects overlap with quiet periods, and conversations about money remain taboo. This session opens up that conversation—because financial wellness is just as essential as creative growth.
We’ll explore the psychology of money: how your sense of self-worth shapes the way you set your price, negotiate your fees, and decide which opportunities to take or leave. Numbers are not just numbers—they’re feedback. Understanding them helps you create diverse income streams, prepare for slow seasons, and make smarter choices about investing in your career, whether it’s attending a conference or buying new equipment.
Our panel will also tackle real challenges: inflation, sector pay gaps, gender disparities, and the new EU salary transparency directive. Through an interactive Q&A, you’ll gain concrete tools to approach negotiations with confidence, track the return on your investments, and reshape the way you think and talk about money.
Because when you value yourself, you give others a reason to value you too.
