With Atlanta quickly becoming the hub for mainstream media, there is no wonder why Atlanta was the first city to host the International Music Conference a couple of weeks ago at the downtown Melia Hotel. The four day event brought out hundreds of independent artists, aspiring musicians and producers, DJ’s and the like to celebrate a multi-cultural platform where the commonality is receiving  proper education by some of the industry’s top influential decision makers and deal breakers on any international level.

We stopped in at 595 North to check out the fierce competition at IMC’s DJ Mix-Off hosted by Core DJs CEO Tony Neal. The winner, Deejay Pnut out of Michigan, not only won over $10,000 in prizes, he won an all expense trip to London where he’ll guest host as a radio jockey and DJ an exclusive event in the city.

Arguably, the International Music Conference could grow to be the largest most successful music conference in the world. We can’t wait to see what next year brings.
