About Djooky Music Investment Summit

The idea of the first Djooky Music Investment Summit was sparked by Gennadiy Kurochka, CFC Big Ideas Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Djooky — a music startup, which in the last years has transformed into the whole artist-focussed digital ecosystem that brings together Djooky Music Awards, the world’s largest app-driven song contest, the marketplace DjookyX, a music investment and trading platform and Djooky Music Investment Summit, a knowledge platform for music investors, producers, and artists.

With the music businesses struggling to get back on track in the post-COVID economy, the rise of independent artists and active music democratization movements all over the world, we feel there is a huge need for the platform, which promotes discussion and education about the future of music industry.

The Djooky Music Investment Platform is a knowledge platform for musical artists, music industry representatives and simply music fanatics from around the globe. We aim to organize virtual and hybrid events that empower our delegates to share their ideas and products with the universal music community while keeping their business priorities first.

The first Djooky Music Investment Summit, which was held on June 17–18, 2021, shed a light on the new ways of attracting funding, utilizing monetization tools, and promoting emerging artists. The Summit brought to the stage prominent speakers of the music business including representatives of global labels, music distribution companies, streaming platforms, investment funds, as well leading music entrepreneurs and independent artists. The leaders of Merlin, Round Hill Music, TuneCore, DropLabs, CD Baby, Pandora, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, United Talent Agency, and many others joined the event to share their unique personal experiences with the global audience. Partners of the Summit were F6 S, world’s largest platform for founders, Music Business Association, Music Press Asia, and gener8tor.

The organizer of the events is CFC Big Ideas — an international communications consultancy headquartered in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates and Kyiv, Ukraine. Established in 2002 as CFC Consulting, the company has made its name by implementing BIG IDEA international projects in more than 40 countries across the globe. Some of the most successful projects, carried out in collaboration with the Ukraine Crisis Media Center, were recognized by Bronze Cannes Lion in 2017 and Gold SABRE Award in public affairs in 2015. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, CFC Big Ideas has created several successful global event platforms, namely the Global Inclusion Online Forum, the biggest Diversity & Inclusion online event in the world, and Davos Energy Week which gathered 7 Ministers of Energy and over 5000 participants online in January 2021.
