Darryl Hurs stops by to chat the Indie Music Scene and Venue X Venue Festival Event Introduction: Indie Week and Venue X Venue Brent welcomes Darryl Hurs, who introduces the upcoming Venue X Venue festival happening from November 14-16 in London, Ontario. This event, featuring 60 artists across seven venues, is a significant addition to Ontario's vibrant music scene. DIT Platform and Industry Reset Post-COVID Darryl discusses his DIT (Do It Together) platform, a networking hub similar to LinkedIn but tailored for indie artists and industry professionals. Post-COVID, there's been a notable shift toward digital spaces, including online webinars and events through DIT, with mental health becoming a crucial focus as artists navigate new industry challenges. Supporting Indie Artists: Challenges and Opportunities Through DIT, Darryl's work centers on educating and connecting indie artists. He explains how shifts from record sales to streaming have reshaped artist careers, while social media has become essential for visibility. Challenges include navigating an industry that now demands more self-promotion and business savvy than ever before. London's Music Scene and Venue X Venue's Community Impact Venue X Venue is also a testament to London, Ontario's thriving music environment. With backing from the London Music Office, the festival aims to foster community by giving artists performance and networking opportunities, facilitating growth in the indie music sector. Festivals and Conferences as Career Catalysts Brent and Darryl highlight how festivals and conferences are crucial for indie artist growth, with networking being a key component. Darryl shares a personal example of meeting music industry icon Martin Atkins on MySpace, which evolved into a meaningful professional relationship. The Future of DIT and Venue X Venue DIT's mission is to provide growth avenues for indie artists and to create new industry connections. Darryl and Brent discuss the need for sustained support systems and platforms like DIT to help artists and professionals thrive in the evolving music landscape. Networking and Relationship-Building in the Music Industry Both Brent and Darryl stress the importance of networking, sharing that respect for all members of the industry—from interns to executives—is essential, as today's juniors can become tomorrow's leaders. Festivals like Venue X Venue provide a prime environment for these connections. Data, Targeted Marketing, and International Reach Data analysis is increasingly valuable in the music industry. Darryl mentions tools like Chart Metric for identifying potential markets and using affordable online ads to test audience interest. Targeted marketing and understanding data help artists efficiently grow their fan base, especially when aiming to reach international markets. Social Media's Role in Today's Music Scene Social media has made it easier for indie artists to enter the industry, though maintaining authenticity remains a challenge. Darryl emphasizes the importance of a sustainable approach to career-building in a social-media-driven environment. Innovation and Wellness in the Music Industry's Future Looking forward, Darryl believes innovation and adaptability are crucial for the music industry's survival. Online platforms and webinars will continue to offer essential learning and networking opportunities. Moreover, Darryl highlights the importance of wellness, recalling past events where a full day was dedicated to mental health and wellness. Community and Collaboration Community is at the heart of Darryl's vision, with Venue X Venue and DIT both aiming to foster collaboration and support among artists.

Music was My First Love with Darryl Hurs - Episode 112 We are delighted to be speaking with a legend in the music industry today! Darryl Hurs is the Founder of Indie Week in Toronto. He is also the Managing Director of Downtown Global.  Darryl has created online conferences and worked with famous bands and musicians like U2, Madonna, Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Dave Matthews. Darryl is a fascinating individual! In this episode, he tells his story, talks about music, marketing, and engagement, and paints a vivid picture of the future of conferences.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's captivating conversation with Darryl Hurs! Bio: Darryl Hurs has a 25+ year history in the music business, including launching and running one of Canada's largest music showcase festivals and the conference, Indie Week. In the past two years, he founded three new online conferences: Music Pro Summit, indie101, and SCREENxSCREEN. Recently hired as the Managing Director for Downtown Music in Canada heading the Canadian operations for Fuga, Songtrust, Adrev, Found.ee, CD Baby, and Downtown Music Services. His past positions include design and branding/marketing for Live Nation as a freelancer (projects included a corporate rebrand and logo design, launching VIPNATION.com, work for U2, Nickelback, Madonna, Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Dave Matthews) retail buyer at HMV, and booker for one of Toronto's top live music venues (The Rivoli). Growing up in Canada Darryl grew up in Edmonton. He already knew in grade six that he wanted to get into the music business. The music industry in Canada was in Toronto, so he moved there when he was older, looking to do what he does now. Darryl's story Darryl wanted to be a musician, so he studied guitar at MacEwan University in Edmonton. Then he joined a band and moved with it from Edmonton to Toronto. When the band moved back to Edmonton, Darryl remained in Toronto. He knew nobody there, so he started networking, volunteering, hustling, playing, and auditioning. He began carving out his career when he became a booker for a venue, started managing bands, and did all the promotions and bookings for the bands he was in. Then he took a desktop publishing course and started earning a living doing graphics and design.  Live Nation He landed Live Nation as a client for eight or nine years, during which time he also launched VIPNATION.Com for them, rebranded the company, and did event marketing and advertising for several famous artists. He gained experience in marketing and promoting events and engaging fans. A promotion Darryl has been the country rep for CD Baby in Canada for three years. At the end of last year, he received a promotion and is now the Managing Director for Canada for Downtown Global. Covid When Covid hit, they lost everything and started doing conferencing online. Since then, they have launched another three successful other online music conferences. They now have several different projects on the go and are on par with where they were at the start of Covid. Indie Week Darryl created Indie Week because no festivals in Toronto focused on local artists. It was a music festival and also a music conference. Just before Covid, Indie Week in Toronto was doing about 240 bands from all around the world for four nights at 24 music venues in downtown Toronto. (Before that, they were doing the UK, but they stopped when Brexit happened.) In Indie Week, they got the industry out to look at the bands and vote for the band that deserved to play at Indie Week in the UK. Then, at Indie Week in the UK, they would pick a band to bring to Canada.  Comafest Since Covid, they have partnered with a Comafest in Brazil. They have taken an artist there every year and intend to take a few artists there in August 2022. Their objective is to build the international partnerships they started online, partner with other existing festivals, and take artists to those festivals. Online conferences They plan to continue their conference online. What set their conference apart from all other conferences happening during the Covid lockdown was that they were 110% invested in doing it online.  Positive feedback They have had a lot of praise and positive feedback for their online conferences! They could get higher-level speakers because they did not have to fly anyone anywhere.  The Indie Week online Music Conference They took the music conference and broke it down into different demographics to go online. Now, Screen X Screen, which is about music and tech, happens in February each year. Indie 101 is about education, and it happens in May. Music Pro Summit hosts high-level industry discussions and takes place in September. Indie Week is their hub, so they try to bring everything together in one place and focus on international connections. Many people have said that it is one of the best online conferences they have ever attended. The platform Their platform, Whova, is open to engagement and connecting with others. All their programs are recorded and people can talk online for three months. So any attendee can still go through the speaker and attendee list and message them after the conference. People are learning how to use the platform and taking advantage of it! A community Their free weekly sessions focus on being real. The sessions have helped grow their community because people love having the connection! Value People add value. Darryl believes that if you offer help first things will happen, and if you do something that engages with people, it will become valuable. So focus on people first, and monetization later. Online is working well They are planning to stay online because it is working well. They are also looking for ways to utilize what they have done online and do something in person when the time is right to do so. The goal The goal for Indie Week is that the participants make connections that turn into a real business. Online versus face-to-face People make a mistake when they try to recreate a face-to-face event online. Indie Week is an online experience, and the organizers are making the most of it! They are not trying to do what they would normally do in person.  Valuable experience They gained valuable experience from doing four online events in one year. They learned to utilize the positive aspects of the online experience and capitalize on them. AI Darryl believes that AI will make it possible for anything to happen musically in the future! Music marketing for artists Everyone in the world is online today, so artists need to plug into social marketing. That means using Facebook ads and Instagram ads and knowing how to use the data to locate their audience and the areas where people are tuning in the most. Then they need to start feeding different ads to that market to build a story. They can also use billboard ads, magazines, and online advertising programs like Found.ee. How can artists get known? Artists should focus on what they do and how to use tools to elevate that. They should focus on where their audience is and try to get as many fans as possible to engage. Engaging audiences at conferences People need to talk less about business and more about who they are and how they are doing. Digital is global, so there is value in considering how to elevate an in-person event to online. Being inclusive is also vital.    Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website   Connect with Darryl Hurs On LinkedIn Indie Week

Darryl Hurs (TO Indie Week Founder) - THE FULL CONVO by Todd Hancock

This week on the podcast, we catch up with Darryl Hurs, founder of Indie Week Canada and now also the Canadian representative for CD Baby. Darryl takes a look back at the founding and evolution of Indie Week, from a passion project to one of the premier events for indie musicians in the country. As well, we chat about how showcase festivals must evolve as labels change their approach to A&R in the digital analytics era and how young artists must now learn to be their own businesses. Darryl also shares some lessons he’s learned for artists on self-branding and marketing, discusses whether Toronto's Music City Strategy is working, and much more. Before that, we've got Toronto hip-hop wunderkind Haviah Mighty talking about how she and her team have been making noise and turning heads on their own terms. She previews her second LP, 13th Floor, which drops on May 10th and features collaborations with some known names as well as a pair of her siblings (talented family!). She discusses that challenges that go with earning your stripes in Canada's still-fledging hip-hop industry, how the current political climate is influencing her art, and more.

Darryl Hurs is the co-founder of Indie week that takes place in the fall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Darryl is also now working with CD Baby as the Canadian Marketing Manager.

Welcome to Part 2!!! Darryl Hurs is the founder of two pretty important Toronto events. One is Indie Week, the other is Real Independent Film Festival or RIFF. Darryl came to Toronto in the early 90's to seek fame with his band from Edmonton. He soon realized that his ambition wasn't exactly the bands main concern. Darryl taught himself graphic design from reading books before owning a real computer and somehow got himself work through with the gift of the gab. He's a very intelligent person and a good hang. A rare commodity in the technical world. Darryl has always been his own boss and he never stops thinking about the next move in life. In the podcast we talk a bit about the old days and what lays ahead with musical trends. Because there's so much information in this episode, I broke it into two more manageable sized episodes.
