Line-up
TopCon x Layers
Jonathan Lee, Kaelin Ellis, Oh Gosh Leotus
Layers will curate a powerhouse panel with A-List artists and a high profile moderator for the ADE Main Stage on the topic of musicians’ fraught relationship with traditional social media, its impact on music formats and musicians’ lives and livelihoods, and exciting developments in community and creation that serve as the antidote to the algorithm. You’re Not A Content Creator: How social media has changed music and the lives of musicians, and how a new generation of creators, communities, and companies are paving a better path forward.
