After a year devoid of events, with a wounded cultural sector and with still unclear perspectives for 2021, professionals in the music and entertainment industry in Romania find themselves looking for guidance, solutions and meetings to face current and future challenges. In this context, Romanian Music Export, the first local program from the entrepreneurial area which assumes the mission of promoting and exporting music at the European level, will host on January 31st 2021 Romanian Music Export Online. The event borrows the format of a TV show, including live and recorded panel discussions with local and foreign speakers, relevant for the industry and a series of showcases with Romanian bands.

Support for up-and-coming Romanian artists, locally and internationally

Romanian Music Export was developed in order to work as a promotional program in order to identify and support new Romanian artists, but also to help them in developing a national and international career. RME offers a stage for new voices, through the platform that brings together young artists, professionals in the music industry, festival directors and audience, with the strong belief that music is the universal glue that brings together, heals and motivates.

Romanian Music Export was borne during the second edition of East European Music Conference, on July 26, 2018, an event where producers, booking agents, promoters and cultural operators in Romania and Europe took part at the show of five Romanian bands, whose selection was made after a sign-up on the platform especially built for this program.

Any band in Romania could have signed-up, provided their songs were original pieces. The jury was two-folded, the preselection was done locally, while the final selection of the five bands was done by an international jury. 71 artists joined the competition and bands like Am Fost La Munte Si Mi-a Placut, Gramofone, JazzyBIT, NEXT EX and White Walls held amazing shows while during the breaks answered questions from the press and booking agents from big European festivals.

Romanian Music Export Online levels the field for future offline events.

The January 31st edition is essential for continuing the Romanian Music Export program, in order to make the offline 2021 edition possible, since the unprecedented situation created by the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation, postponement or turning to online of all events and cultural activities. The digital platform RME is created for Romanian artists, especially up-and-coming with a vital need of guidance and support in this time with no concerts and no payments and in a constant need or partners with whom to talk about solutions for rebuilding their careers in the near future.

The online event will host 10 panels of discussions like: “Can music help us thrive?”, “Health & Safety post pandemic events reopening”, “Freelance musician or artist. Can it be done?”, “Solutions from the music industry for reopening the cultural live”, “How do festival bookers choose newcomers for their line-up?”, “The future of clubs and small concert venues” and “Women in music industry”.

The speaker list includes: Fruzsina Szép (Director, Superbloom Festival – Germania), Greg Parmley (International Director Live Music Conference & International Festival Forum, UK), Michal Kascak (Founder / CEO – Pohoda festival, Slovacia), Christof Huber (Director, Yourope – European Festival Association Switzerland), Baris Basaran (Promoter / Head of Eastern & Central Europe – TEG / MJR – UK), , Lina Ugrinovska (International Booking / Password Production, North Macedonia), representatives of European festivals Summerbreeze Open Air (Germania), Wide Days (Scotland), Nova Rock (Austria), but also local representatives (ARTmania, Untold, Electric Castle, Summerwell, Jazz in the Park), as well as representatives from Ministry of Culture, club venues (Quantic, Rockstadt, Form Space, Club Control, Expirat), cultural and theatre managers, Romanian artists and representatives of booking and management companies.

The most important conference dedicated to the musical industry in Romanian is getting ready for its 2018 version, at the Thalia Hall in Sibiu, between July, 26-28. After a first edition when over 400 people – guests and public – from the Romanian and European cultural medium, have exchanged ideas and reached conclusions, and the second edition continues the innovation in the Romanian market of such events with another avantgarde program: Romanian Music Export.

Therefore, the first Romanian program in the entrepreneurial area which takes on the promotion and exporting at a European level, will start with the second edition of EEMC and will be available for all the guests and public of the conference. On July 26, producers, booking agents, promoters and cultural operators in Romania and Europe will take part in a show of five local bands, whose selection will be made after a signing-up on a platform especially designed for this program. Any band in Romania will be able to sign up, the one condition being playing original songs. The selection will be done in two stages, the selection being done first locally, while the final selection of the five bands will be done by an international jury.

“Romanian Music Export is a platform that is missing from the Romanian musical industry. There are many European countries that have such a program, supported by laws and cultural policies, who offer financing, support and recognition to young talents, but who are completely missing in Romania. It is very important to understand that only together, in a coherent and united way, we can open the gate for Romanian musical projects in the international market, it is the right step in an industry that has faced a huge growth in the last couple of years, that has no real policies. We do everything here, in Sibiu, a town that can be called a capital of European cultural avantgarde, said Codruta Vulcu, organizer and founder of EEMC and Romanian Music Export.

East European Music Conference reunites representatives of large European festivals (Mad Cool Festival, Exit Festival, Roskilde Festival among others), producers and managers in the European musical industry, in a unique event in the Romanian space. EEMC is the place where artists, managers, producers and cultural operators in Romania have the opportunity of meeting and starting new collaborations with the special guests present at the conference.

Present on the short nominee list at the European Festival Awards 2017 (Promoter of the Year), EEMC had received, after its first edition, appreciations from a jury formed by the most important people in the European industry, confirming the value and utility of such an even in Romania. Also, on the short list nominees was Codruta Vulcu, for the excellence and passion award handed out each year by the EFA.

“It was huge honour for us such a nominalization, just after the first edition of the conference. The need for such an event was confirmed by the enthusiasm with which the participants and the guests received the talks during the conference, and the European music industry’ s support it so much more valuable as Romania needs more meetings of this kind in order to identify what we are missing to have a competitive industry” , adds Codruta Vulcu, organizer and founder of EEMC and Romanian Music Export.

The conference in Sibiu is organized in partnership with AROC – the Romanian Association of Concerts and Cultural Events Organizers, which includes among its founding members some of the most important promoters in Romania like Emagic, Electric Castle, Summerwell, ARTmania, Blaj aLive or Twin Arts.
