The Music Managers Forum Aotearoa, with support from Recorded Music New Zealand, is proud to present the free Back to Basics seminar in Christchurch on Wednesday 19 July 2023.

Aimed at all who are in the early stages of artist management, including self-managed artists, this seminar explores the fundamentals and inner workings of the music industry. Topics will cover planning a release, artist development and the business of music.

Lorraine Barry (Manager Sir Dave Dobbyn, Avantdale Bowling Club, Aaradhna, Aidan Fine, Home Brew, Rizvan) will be joined in Christchurch by Big Sima (self-managed rapper/songwriter). They will present and share their indispensable knowledge, and answer questions from attendees.

In her former life at Virgin Records in London she was International Marketing Manager for acts including Ice T, Spice Girls, Massive Attack, Neneh Cherry, Placebo and The Verve before taking on the role of running the International Department.

Big Sima is a self-managed rapper/songwriter from Ōtautahi, more recently known for his mahi with seven-piece hip hop band Boomtown. Last year he released his debut album Stereotypes of a Polynesian Misunderstood with close friend and collaborator Tiki Taane, much to critical acclaim. This winter Big Sima & Boomtown will head out on their second NZ tour in 12 months.
