Hatch. “The pros who are participating in the seminars inject real life, first-hand experience into the discussion, and let attendees know that being a working music professional isn’t just about beats and grooves – it’s a business. By the time ‘Beat Camp’ is over, every attendee in the house will know exactly what he or she needs to do to take their career to the next level.”
