Mike Shinoda Is Coming To Australia To Speak At BIGSOUND 2023
The speaker lineup for BIGSOUND 2023 has exploded with the addition of one of nu-metal music’s biggest icons. Namely, Linkin Park rapper Mike Shinoda.
The biggest music industry conference in the southern hemisphere’s third speaker announcement has just arrived, also packing the likes of musicians Christine Anu, Ziggy Ramo, Kate Miller-Heidke, Gordi and Camp Cope’s Georgia Maq, plus big-dog reps from companies like HBO, APRA AMCOS, Bluey, Eurovision, Coachella and more.
Linkin Park – ‘Numb’
But let’s stay focused on the big news for a sec here: Mike mother flippin’ Shinoda. The three-time Grammy Award winner will be bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the BIGSOUND festivities, after selling over 100 million records globally with Linkin Park, producing music for A-list artists like Demi Lovato, Grandson and Sueco, serving in the trailblazing role of Community Innovation Advisor for Warner Music Group and raising millions of dollars for charity through his self-founded initiative, Music for Relief.
Elsewhere, legendary Torres Strait Islander singer Christine Anu will be a headline speaker at BIGSOUND’s 2023 First Nations Goolwal Goolwal program, while Georgia Maq and Kate Miller-Heidke will deliver sure-to-be-unforgettable keynote addresses.
BIGSOUND’s 2023 speaker program now spans an impressive 65 names, including previously announced luminaries like ROC Nation Records co-president Omar Grant (who was the road manager for Destiny’s Child and has recently worked closely with Rihanna on her last album ANTI), Interscope/Geffen A&R coordinator Michele Ronzon and founder of music AI company Musiio, Hazel Savage, who’s also currently working at Soundcloud as VP of music intelligence.
There are also plenty more lineup announcements to come: more than 100 speakers will be making their way to BIGSOUND in 2023, which is taking place at various venues around Fortitude Valley from Tuesday, 5th September to Friday, 8th September.
ICYMI, BIGSOUND’s conference and speaker program runs alongside its annual artist showcases, and tickets for both are on sale now.
Over 140 artists will perform at this year’s event include BAYANG (Tha Bushranger), Bec Stevens, Cult Shotta, Delivery, Dr Sure’s Unusal Practice, Full Flower Moon Band, GAUCI, Gut Health, J-MILLA, Kobie Dee and MARLON X RULLA.
