Music rights advocate and Founder, MD of ISAMRA, Sanjay Tandon brought a strong performing arts perspective to the recently concluded Hami Earth Art Festival, where he was a featured speaker on the Industry Titans panel at the National Gallery of Modern Art.
Addressing an audience of artists, cultural thinkers, and industry professionals, Tandon spoke about the evolving music ecosystem and the growing need to safeguard the rights of singers and musicians in the digital age. He underlined the importance of fair recognition and remuneration for performers, while emphasising that creative communities must be empowered with stronger awareness about intellectual property and music rights.
Conceptualised by Hrishikesh J Chury, the Hami Earth Art Festival brought together voices from across art, sustainability, and social impact. The festival was inaugurated by eminent personalities including ad filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar, filmmaker Tarun Hiranandani, and educationist Dr. Megha Phansalkar, marking it as a significant cultural gathering in Mumbai’s arts calendar.
Tandon’s participation added an important music-industry dimension to the festival’s larger dialogue on creativity and responsibility, reinforcing the idea that artistic expression must go hand in hand with the protection of those who create it.
