Agenda

With almost 20 years of experience, Lincoln has done everything from performing on a festival stage in front of thousands to opening a venue far from his native home of Singapore. Now focusing on developing others and facilitating creativity and artistry with a heart in community, Lincoln runs PARLOUR Amsterdam, a creative hub dedicated to making a difference for musicians of all levels, with an eye on building, funding, and helping to develop new ideas that enable others to make music-making a sustainable way of living.

Making It in Music

She’s Amsterdam’s favourite booker, and Cinetol’s programmer. She’s hosted sold-out shows in some of the city’s most beloved underground venues, all while prioritising DIY ethics, community, and introducing you to your new favourite bands. She’ll tell you how you don’t have to go the usual route to make your mark and make a living, balancing the perspective of booking for an established event, to building her own gigs from the ground up.

How to Do It Yourself

Run down the road from the beloved NDSM neighbourhood, PlusOne lives and breathes dance music. Dedicated to supporting and enabling creativity, they represent artists from upcoming DJs to absolute superstars. On top of that, they help booking agencies, publishers, and independent labels. They’re not just another law firm, they’re genuinely devoted to providing support for musicians in Amsterdam, and they’re damn good at it.

Demystifying the Legal World

Based between Amsterdam and London, Sven crafts contemporary folk stories about change, love, social issues, and the search for self. With a warm voice, fingerstyle-inspired guitar, and unguarded lyrics, his music offers moments of reflection in a fast-moving world. Once on track to become a teacher, he chose music instead, moving to London to refine his craft and embrace songwriting as a way to foster a more conscious, compassionate world. 

Q&A: Hear from an Independent Artist

You have 5 minutes with each speaker to ask questions, pitch something, or just exchange contacts. Pro tip: prepare questions beforehand to keep it quick and easy!
