[Music]

0:26

one unique thing about this Festival is

0:28

that they are teaching you to be better

0:31

in your area

0:32

and if you have any challenges in your

0:35

area especially to build your business

0:36

or build your skills they are teaching

0:39

you ways in terms of how to get out of

0:41

it leading up to this Festival one of my

0:43

favorite moments has been this Monster

0:46

Arts development program I’m really

0:48

excited to be

0:50

um you know one of the Chosen Few to

0:52

develop my career and you know get the

0:54

support I need to Market it properly

0:56

I’ve been able to be a part of this

0:58

Workshop which has been really nice you

1:00

know getting some marketing and

1:02

producing just education and hearing

1:06

other people’s stories too in terms of

1:08

this Workshop it’s just been going on

1:09

since two hours it’s been great how do

1:11

we talk to all of the artists how do we

1:14

build up our social media what do you

1:16

call the followers on Instagram you know

1:18

Snapchat and all it’s been amazing this

1:21

Workshop has and especially this

1:22

Festival has opened our minds in terms

1:24

of looking who we are actually what

1:27

brand identity we want to portray in

1:29

front of others

1:31

this I would say eye-opening thoughts

1:35

are definitely going to help us in terms

1:37

of creating some kind of strategy so I

1:39

find like even just working with my

1:41

peers and knowing that there’s other

1:42

people in the industry who are willing

1:44

to help each other even though we are in

1:46

the same Market I’m actually looking

1:49

forward to doing more collaborations and

1:50

learning from them for me growing up I

1:53

didn’t have these types of opportunities

1:54

where we would learn about the business

1:55

side of of the Arts and where we had

1:58

mentors to coaches through specific

2:00

questions or specific Curiosities that

2:02

we had and I think it’s so amazing that

2:04

this is being provided now because

2:06

artists are being given the tools

2:07

they’re being given the the structures

2:09

they’re being given the capacity with

2:12

this program I’m finding that yes now

2:13

there’s a bit more of a focused effort

2:15

because people are vested in my you know

2:17

in my growth in my success and everybody

2:20

has been so genuine and has been

2:22

wholeheartedly willing to help us with

2:24

anything and everything that we are

2:26

asking for that we’re curious about I

2:28

feel the festival is genuinely

2:30

interested and concerned learned about

2:32

how to make South Asian Arts you know

2:34

music and dance artists really be

2:36

sustainable they’re always looking out

2:38

for great acts and they’re willing to

2:40

support everyone from the community it’s

2:41

one of the only festivals I’ve seen

2:43

today that really doesn’t take just

2:45

focuses on you performing at the event

2:47

but it all provides you a lot of

2:49

opportunities in the future to work with

2:51

them on other things like workshops and

2:52

maybe even something like the monster

2:54

artist development program Bollywood

2:56

monster mashup means a lot to me as an

2:59

artist it was the very first Festival

3:01

which made us realize that artists

3:05

artists are really valuable they not

3:08

only value artists they make them feel

3:11

respected which is why I will always

3:14

feel grateful to be a part of this

3:16

Festival
