Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval
 1.  For my 30 hours I plan to have a showcase with music acts including me and it would also be a live tweet event for all the acts including me.  With the showcase I will be presenting new artist and give them exposure.

      2.  The way I would show evidence is by providing pictures from the showcase and flyers. I                       would also have documents on notes I take for planning it. 

   
       3. Having a showcase will help me with my topic because I get to learn how to operate it backstage and gain experience with music performance. I will also learn how to manage the acts that will perform.

Blog 5: Mentorship and Research Reflection 

1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship?

I meet my mentors at a covention called KCON in 2013. Their names are Bruce and Ebony Vanderveer. They were giving out their record label's buisness cards. When it came time to search for a mentor I gave them a call. I explained to them about the senior project and mentorship. We later scheduled a meeting at their studio where we went over our plan for mentoring activites for the year.  

2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?

The most important article I read so far would have to be one called  "How To Start Your Own Record Label." The article had good information and it was very detailed. I was able to learn a few strategies from reading it. The article was written by an author of Forbes and they referenced other record labels. They also interviewed music executives for their information.
