Tamara Conniff, founder of The Comet, brings in music industry and social media experts including Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun, Chester French’s DA Wallach and Topspin’s Ian Rogers to advise YouTube music talents on ways to break out online.

I’ve hosted many many music conferences in my years as a journalist, but this was truly the most honest public conversation I’ve ever had on the state of the music industry and social media. In addition to Scooter, DA, and Ian, Big Champagne’s Eric Garland, Red Magnet Media’s Rachel Masters, music duo and YouTube stars Karmin also joined me on the couch to give advice to YouTube upstarts Delaney Gibson and Joseph Vincent.

Idea Jam: Music was a day-long event. After our super high-level industry conversation we put Delaney and Joseph in with top producers – Christian B and Marc Dold of Swiss American Federation as well as Ruwanga “Ru” Samanth and Oscar “Ozzy” Doniz –  to rework their songs. It was more or less a dream boot-camp for the two stars. We also talked to Pete Wentz and Nikka Costa about their social media strategies.
