CMJ 2012: Tattoo U Panel

by Simone Southwell

While checking out the 2012 CMJ Music Festival/Marathon I had the opportunity to be a part of some really cool and informative panels. An interesting panel that I got to check out was the Tattoo U panel. This panel was about any and everything tattoos. The panel was made up of Jordy Trachtenberg, a music industry veteran and devoted tattoo collector, Jason June, a tattoo artist at Three Kings Tattoo, Jes Irwin, a tattoo artist, Alex McWatt, Founder and tattoo artist at Three Kings Tattoo, and Todd Weinberger, the Creative Director at Inked Magazine.

The CMJ Music Festival was alive and kicking this past weekend in New York. I had the opportunity to check out The Real Deal Breakdown of Branded Placement panel at the NYU Kimmel Center. The panel revolved around the process by which songs get matched up with brands and are used in movies, commercials, and a variety of other mediums. The panel included Bruce MacKenzie, the head of GreenLight Music, Kavi Ohri, the head of Music Dealers’ East Coast Operations, Ryan Wines, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Marmoset Music, Julie Potash, a singer/song writer, and Richard Stumpf, President of Imagem Music.

In the revolving door of hip-hop, the door has been slow moving for female MCs. Nicki Minaj is currently dominating the female MC genre and Kreayshawn is making a buzz. Audra the Rapper, signed to Rick Ross’ Maybach Music, is ready for everyone to know her name.

It’s that time of the year when New York City is taken over by the CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival. It’s a time to hop from showcase to showcase  in the hopes of being the first to hear the next future superstar.
