Open Letter from Michael Brovkine, Founder of Made In New York Jazz Brands

Dear Friends, Partners, and Music Lovers,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I reach out to you today. As the founder of the Made In New York Jazz Brand, I’ve had the honor of witnessing the transformative power of music, not just in New York City, but around the globe. Over the years, what started as a humble vision to celebrate music and its incredible artists has grown into a vibrant, international community.

#madeinnyjazz competition became a platform for thousands of talented musicians from all corners of the world, offering an opportunity to showcase artistry on a global stage. It has been a privilege to witness these extraordinary talents grow, connect, and inspire each other.

It’s time to take the next step. The world of jazz and live music is evolving, and with it, the ways we connect, collaborate, and create opportunities. As we look toward the future, I am excited to announce the launch of the Made In New York Jazz Business Forum. This forum is designed to bring together festival organizers, music entrepreneurs, and visionaries who share our passion for expanding the reach of music and interested in the business side of it.

Our Mission:

1. To explore new locations and to find partners who are eager to bring our shared vision of jazz festivals to life.

2. To create business and music opportunities for those who want to build their own festivals or host A-list artists in their cities.

3. To foster a business-oriented music community where industry leaders, sponsors, and musicians can collaborate, innovate, and shape the future of music.

IMPORTANT:

Music festivals, in addition to celebrating culture, can become powerful economic hubs that drive tourism, boost local business exposure, create jobs, and elevate global visibility for host cities. Our forum is not about watered-down talks or lessons on how to do things; it’s about straightforward business. We’re here for direct conversations and opportunities to build business together. I invite you to join us in this exciting, new chapter. This forum is the beginning of a movement that will lead to a music and business conference, bridging the gap between musicians, festival organizers, and sponsors worldwide.

Thank you for your ongoing support and passion for music and the creative community.

Sincerely,

Michael Brovkine

Founder, CEO #madeinnyjazz
