19 HISTORY
•  1980 – 1995: The original New Music Seminar was a catalyst for change
and helped introduce hip-hop, new wave, house and many other new
forms of music. NMS helped break out the likes of Kid Creole & the
Coconuts, Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince, Living Color, Boy George, They
Might Be Giants, GWAR, The B-52s, The Cure, Nirvana, and Madonna
•  During its 15-year run, the first NMS became the world’s biggest and most
influential music business gathering attracting over 8,000 people from 35
countries. It spawned almost every music conference worldwide,
including SXSW, Canadian Music Week, The Winter Music Conference, and
many others
•  In 2009, NMS was revived as a traveling conference stopping in LA and
Chicago and is now home in NYC. In that time it has become the ultimate
destination where artists, industry players and companies are provided
the knowledge, tools and connections they need to succeed and build the
New Music Business
