The Music Entrepreneur Club is hitting the road and may be coming to a city near you!
What is it?
The MEC Tour is a series of pop-up music conferences with established professionals. Each conference consists of 6 hours of panels, discussions, and interactive workshops to learn and network with aspiring and established music entrepreneurs.
Why a "tour"?
Only a few cities are fortunate enough to have official music conferences, such as A3C or SXSW. If you don't live in one of these cities, then it's very expensive to attend. That is why we are bringing the conference to you!
Who Is Involved?
The tour is being organized by MEC leadership, in partnership with LA Vocal Booths, A3C, and Songtrust. Together we worked to recruit a diverse cross-section of artists, producers, and professionals so you can get a variety of perspectives on how to achieve success in this industry.

DJ Pain 1
Known for his production on Young Jeezy's platinum-selling album The Recession, producer Pacal "DJ Pain 1" Bayley stays busy. His journey started in the late 90's while cultivating hip-hop sensibilities through visual art, DJing, and beat-making. He balanced a career in youth service/teaching with creating music, often times marrying the two – he co-founded the first hip-hop performing arts program housed in an institute of higher education in his hometown.
Once he decided to focus on his production career, his resume quickly grew to include both legendary hip-hop acts (Public Enemy, MC Lyte) as well as contemporary hit-makers (Rae Sremmurd, 2 Chainz, 50 Cent). He has also garnered attention for his online video series on production and music business know-how.
