Sydney’s much loved hip hop day party hits the Eastern Suburbs for the first time - One Day at Beach Road on Sunday, 19th November.
 
Created and curated by Inner West collective One Day (Spit Syndicate, Horrorshow, Joyride and Jackie Onassis), One Day Sundays began in as a chilled out Sunday session in Marrickville before exploding in popularity and turning into a mini-festival which now tours the country.
 
With Summer just around the corner, it’s high time that the party makes it to Sydney’s most iconic beachside venue. One Day will be curating two massive stages with a selection of Sydney’s best hip hop DJs: Jayteehazard, Hau (DJ set), Klasik, Nes, Jade Le Flay, Bad Deep DJs and of course the One Day Djs.
 
Plus, BL Burgers will be on hand to feed the hungry and word has it a One Day burger is in the works… What better way to usher in Summer than a beachside, rooftop Sunday session?

Universal Music Australia’s licensing department is scheduling to hold the event on the morning of Tuesday, November 21st.   

We all know that the right song in the right moment can enhance a human experience. But where do we start when trying to find the perfect song to create that moment?

In partnership with 2017 ARIA Week with Apple Music, Universal Music Australia will be hosting a panel with some of Australia’s leading music and creative figures to discuss how recorded music can empower a creative vision. With a focus on how the panel engage with music in their day to day, they will discuss the process of placing music in productions and how best to navigate the world of music licensing as well as taking questions from the floor.
 
The free event is targeted to agencies account managers, industry journos, musos. They will cover the basics, best practice and what’s in store for the future by taking an exclusive look into the music licensing world to provide the best insight and tools to best combine music with campaign creative vision. The event will be followed by a special performance from Odette.
 
Captivating in presence, Odette’s songs are deeply personal and see her flutter from spoken word into warm, soulful vocals, with arrangements circling soul, jazz and pop. Born in England and raised in the inner western suburbs of Sydney, Odette grew up with an eclectic musical palette. Her South African mother introduced her to African music, soul, funk and rhythm; while her English father, hailing from a long line of jazz pianists, introduced her to new wave, jazz and passed on his musical talents. Odette has played piano since she was a child and her highly emotive use of the instrument lives at the centre of her songs, a grounding motif of her heritage.
 
THE PANEL:
Graham Donald - (Creative Director @ Channel 7)
John Watson - (General Manager @ Eleven Music)
Karl Richter - (CEO @ Level Two Music)
Emily Crews - (Sync & Licensing Director @ Universal Music Australia)
 
Mediated by Philip Mortlock (Owner of ORiGiN Music,
