We have to be resilient and find the pathways that new opportunities open for us.”

In a world where every industry has been impacted by COVID-19, we have also had to adapt and remain resilient to ensure that we uphold our mandate to facilitate and stimulate growth in the local music industry. There is hope for the future and we will explore that, and more, at RVRB Experience 2021.” stated Melissa Jimenez, General Manager of MusicTT.
