Few DJ-producers can touch the success that R3hab has garnered over the course of his young career. His rapid rise through the ranks of the electronic music world has been almost unsurpassed. Voted “Best Break-Through Artist” at the 2012 IDMAs, R3hab’s brand of ‘Chainsaw Madness’ has created such a stir, he has gained the accolades of such time-honored acts as Tiësto, Afrojack and Calvin Harris (to name a few) and rapidly become one of the most in-demand artists for high profile remixes while touring sold out shows at some of the most coveted venues throughout the US, Asia, Europe and Australia. A tour DJ however, is merely half of R3hab’s supremacy. His credits cross the gamut from his main-stage masterpiece with Afrojack, ‘Prutataaa’, to writing and production collaborations with Havana Brown, Enrique Iglesias, David Guetta and Usher and re-working credits for Lady Gaga, Calvin Harris, Katy Perry, No Doubt, Pitbull and Madonna. Come with your questions and gain invaluable insight into the artistry and production prowess of one of the industry's most sought after rising talents.


From Madonna and David Bowie to Daft Punk and Avicii, the career of Nile Rodgers is one of the most influential and enduring in pop and dance music culture over the last 30 years. Nile's signature is scrawled across an amazing array of music - from Madonna to Diana Ross, from Eric Clapton to Duran Duran to David Bowie . His hits include Le Freak ( Freak Out), Good Times, Everybody Dance, Dance Dance Dance, I Want Your Love, We Are Family, Greatest Dancer, I'm Coming Out, Upside Down, Original Sin, Wild Boys, Reflex, Notorious, Like A Virgin, Material Girl, Let's Dance to name a few. He is currently working in the studio with some of todays top pop and EDM artists such as Adam Lambert, Daft Punk, Avicii and more. He will discuss his life, share some stories from his book "Le Freak", and bring his guitar "The Hit Maker" to illustrate his musical points on writing and producing some of his biggest hits. He will be taking questions on writing, producing, artist development, independent labels, touring, digital distribution, video game sound tracks and distribution. This special Q & A Session will provide emerging writers, producers, performing artists and developing talent with knowledge and resources for their evolving careers. No one knows where the next 25 million dollar hit will come from but it might just be someone in the audience at this featured Q & A providing invaluable insight into the artistry of Nile Rodgers.
