“As the artist manager, I was extremely pleased to have a chance to familiarize myself with the emerging Chinese music industry, and to introduce myself and my band to a group of people that will likely remain the core players as the industry explodes in coming years.”

— Dara Kartz Manager, Woodhands

“What a fantastic eye-opening, engaging mission! Could have not been a better time and group to build the bridge between these two worlds in the music space! As new models are evolving on both sides where artists, publishers and labels can still get paid and thrive off the evolving spiral of the 360 model — and as I refer to it in mobile — the 720 model… (the second circle becomes the mobile community of the end-user) …where for new monetization inventory is exploding — the key is to move and grab it, or somebody else will!”

— Matthew Snyder Founder CEO, ADObjects Inc

“A one of a kind music and economic development experience which will certainly benefit not only music industry executives but business entrepreneurs and professionals in search of expanding their business into China and/or developing there business within Canada.”

— Charlie Millar Director Digital Business Development, Warner Music Canada

“An invaluable opportunity to get to know the true nature of the state of the music industry in China. The connections with local labels and businesses were unique and high quality, and it was inspiring to see the exchange of artists from both cultures during the live showcases be so well received by the audience. I’d be honored to be invited back.”

— Kevin Arnold Founder CEO, IODA

“transmitCHINA was a wonderful experience, both personally and professionally. The Chinese market has always intrigued me in terms of the potential it held for my artists. Being given the opportunity to travel to Beijing and showcase Buck 65 went a long way towards answering many of my questions and provided me with some very meaningful contacts and future entry points.”

— Nick Blasko Manager, Buck65 / Tegan & Sara

“My partner and I represent DJ Champion and his G-Strings. We were very impressed by the organization of the event — from the showcases venue to the conference pertinence and the activities around the main events (mainly the visit of two amazing upscale venues). We got to meet promoters and key industry players from China, giving us insight on what can be achieved in such an immense and unknown market. It was a very interesting and learning experience and we are eager to go back to China, be it for another transmitCHINA or a tour of one of the artists we represent.”

— Gourmet Delice VP & International Development, Bonsound

“A great opportunity to meet, shmooze and do business with some of the brightest minds in the Canadian & Chinese music industries. The combination of social and semi-formal events was a sensible mix, and in my case quite productive. Thanks Transmit!”

— Luke McKeehan Founder, Nordic Trax
