RVRB Experience was born out of an existing initiative under MusicTT’s Music Export Academy, RVRB webinar series. This monthly webinar series consists of hour-long episodes hosted by an industry expert to build the professional capacity of operators in the music industry. RVRB Experience will now take this initiative to a whole new level.
