We proudly announce we have secured another global Thought Leader flying in from the USA to attend and speak at this year’s Music Exchange Conference. (#MEX24) to be held on 30th November from 9:00 to 16:30

His mission

Paris Toon is the Billboard-charting award-winning entrepreneur and musical enigma behind Mother’s Favourite Child. He is an extraordinary business entrepreneur, songwriter and producer who never seems to stray for a moment from his forward-driven vision of success in the music world and beyond.

Paris started as a hip-hop producer and has done production and remix work for many platinum-selling projects.

He has worked with George Benson, Carl Cox, Robin S., CeCe Peniston, Adina Howard, Atlantic Records, Warner Bros, Island Def Jam, Gucci, Christian Lou Boutin and many more.

His influences range from Prince, Quincy Jones, Dr. Dre and Kanye West. These influences are evident in his compositions and many of his lyrics. As newer artists came about, Paris’s inspiration grew in even broader directions while still holding firmly to the musical pioneers from the past.

His writing style has the genres of R&B/Soul, Funk, Jazz, Dance, Hip Hop and Rock to a level unfamiliar to most, provoking intense curiosity and appreciation for the “next phase of business and music”.

With these inspirational forces embedded in his spirit, Paris Toon has set out to push his business and music to the front lines.

The MEX intent

At our core, MEX is a veritable teacher, delivering critically needed skills to the entertainment economy. It serves the greater good of all stakeholders by promoting and fostering prosperity and sustainability within the Arts sector and beyond.

A vibrant, world-class South African music industry is premised on successful home-grown talent intent on attaining global reach and international acclaim.

At #MEX2024, we ensure the successful sharing of experiences and knowledge of keynote speakers with creatives participating in panel discussions, workshops, and showcases. After all, we can all do with inspiration and global best practices to apply immediately in our professional lives.

We bring together the finest local and international Thought Leaders to address a range of topical and relevant issues the industry faces today. Think podcasts, radio, collecting agencies, PR, marketing, and monetising the entertainment economy – now and into the future.

The power of the network

It’s time to scrub up, head out and socialise. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to escape social media for a day or two and relish real-life conversations with fellow creatives?

Great music. Great content. Great people.

At only R150 for full access to all #MEX24 has to offer, the value and the calibre of content, and those delivering it, is unmatched.
