  • Mondo.NYC Adds 11 Artists to Showcase at Upcoming Festival

    Mondo.NYC announces that 11 new showcase artists will perform at their Music, Arts and Technology Conference and Showcase Festival, from different places all over the world.

    Mondo.NYC

    For a few years, Mondo.NYC has been around to combine tech and live music in a conference to unite musicians, fans and tech disruptors. This year marks the six year anniversary of the festival and despite the changes that COVID-19 has brought about for both industries, the goal remains the same. Rather than being an in person event, it will be an interactive virtual event that can be streamed all around the world. Mondo 2021 focuses on the experiences and changes everyone has faced during the past year and looks toward solutions for the future. The conferences have panels revolving around post-covid financial wellness and survival, music supervision, music tech, racial and gender equality in the music industry and a number of others. 

    The showcase for the Mondo.NYC 2021 showcase comprises artists from Brooklyn, Barbados, Brazil, Indonesia, Italy and more. Some of the newest showcase artists added to the list include, Andrew Weiss and Friends, Julie’s Haircut, Lightcraft, Like Water, Rubytech, She’s Excited!, Single By Sunday and The Living Strange. Along with these performances, Mondo presents a showcase focused on an individual territory called Minas-Brazil x Mondo and will feature three Minas-Gerais based groups: Ancestral Diva, Baladeva Nitai, and Carolina Serdeira. The emergency fund that provides relief for venues affected by the pandemic, NYC Nightlife United, will have a panel at the event as well. For the third year in a row, RAP at Harvard Law School, is hosting live virtual pro bono sessions, to give free legal services to local and national artists.

    The Music, Arts and Technology Conference and Showcase Festival occurs from October 12 through October 15. Tickets for the four-day event are available on Mondo.NYC’s website, with an early bird sale up to 37% off the original prices.

  • Tune in March 20 for Love, New York: The Pandemic Anniversary Music Festival

    Love, New York, a virtual concert fundraiser will take place on the one year anniversary of New York City declaring a shelter in place for the COVID-19 pandemic. Featured musicians include Rich Medina, Paris Monster, and James Casey. It will stream live on March 20th, 2020 at 7 PM EST.

    Love New York

    A year later, the end of pandemic is far closer, yet music still needs relief and artistic outlet. Love, New York is comprised of creatives, visionaries, musicians, street performers, dancers, Broadway artists, and lovers from New York.

    The festival is organized by Sound Mind Collective, a Brooklyn based community organization founded in 2017 by Katherine Powell (KP Artist Management), Chris St. Hilaire (musician, The London Souls, Sinkane, Doyle Bramhall II) and Nikhil P. Yerawadekar (musician, Nikhil P. Yerawadekar & Low Mentality). Sound Mind Collective’s goal is to connect independent artists with local communities to encourage growth through social justice advocacy, policy change, and much more.

    The proceeds from Love, New York will be allocated amongst the performers and independent music venues that are at risk of closing indefinitely as the virus continues to keep doors closed.

    Watch live on March 20th, 2021 at 7PM EST at thesoundmindcollective.org.
