6 to 8 of September is Mastering the Music Business (MMB) will once again taking place in Bucharest, Romania. This is the 7th edition of the festival; last year MMB was one of the first to manage to have their festival live post-COVID, albeit a bit smaller and with more digital content. It was very successful, so the expectations are high this year when they return in full force.

MMB is getting more and more important among the showcase festivals in Europe. Still midsize but their network has been steadily growing, so the speakers are now really top quality.

Also, the festival has set a light on the Romanian music scene and now Romanian artists are picking up speed getting their music outside Romania. In addition, talent has been invited from various parts of the globe.
