In order to be successful in today’s musical landscape, gospel artists need to have the necessary tools to navigate the industry. The Independent Gospel Artist Alliance, founded by Stellar Award Winner Phillip Carter and Stellar Award Nominee Earl Bynum, was started to empower, educate and motivate gospel artists. The highlight of the alliance is its annual Independent Gospel Artists Alliance Conference. This year’s event will take place from July 19 – 21, 2012 at The Mount located at 215 Las Gaviotas Blvd. in Chesapeake, VA.
Featuring 3 power-packed days of workshops and seminars, this year’s conference will tackle topics such as Distribution, Marketing, The Power of Publicity, Structuring Contracts, Licensing & Royalties, Small Business Set-up, Independent Label Operations, Artist Management, Radio Relationships, Promotional CD/Artwork Design and Performance Do’s and Don’ts. The conference will also feature CD Project Reviews, Nightly Showcases, the 2nd Annual Gospel Blue MIC Achievement Awards and more.

In 2010, Sounds of Victory Ministries, in partnership with Earl Bynum Ministries, presented the first Independent Gospel Artists Alliance Conference. The annual small business conference focuses on the needs of Independent Gospel, Christian, and Inspirational Artists helping them manage their business, their career, and their music through education and networking.
