Listed among them were initiatives executed by The Trinidad and Tobago Music Company Limited (MusicTT).

Melissa Jimenez, MusicTT’s General Manager, stated “We understand that the economy has taken a heavy hit during these difficult times due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That said, MusicTT will continue to do its part in providing opportunities for local artistes and promoting live performances for all to enjoy in the comfort and safety of their own homes through the LMD.  We encourage you to take this time to do some “spring cleaning” of your digital assets, social media accounts, create more music, start a blog or learn something new – whatever you do, keep yourself engaged in working on your business or your brand. This too shall pass - so let’s all be safe, be productive and be ready.”

MusicTT will also continue its RVRB webinar series with April’s “Networking in the Music Industry” facilitated by Marcus Braveboy. Previous webinars will be available on MusicTT’s YouTube page, so be sure to subscribe to be notified when the newest episodes are available.
