The EYL Stage

Step into the powerful intersection of music, entrepreneurship, and ownership with some of the game’s most innovative creators. LaRussell, Symba, and Ryan Leslie break down how artists can take control of their careers by mastering the business side — from rights and royalties to brand partnerships and monetizing creativity on their own terms. Hosted by DJ Hed, a respected voice in hip-hop and advocate for artist empowerment, this conversation will inspire and equip you with the blueprint to not only create, but to own, scale, and sustain your impact in an industry that’s rapidly evolving. Whether you’re a musician, producer, or creative entrepreneur, this session will show you how to turn your art into an unstoppable business.
