The undergraduate club SPARK Entrepreneurs, with support from the Simon Entrepreneurs Association, WRUR and the Ain Center for Entrepreneurship, invite you to attend “OVERWERK: Entrepreneurship in the Music Industry” on Thursday, February 18, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in Dewey 1-101. Edmond Huszar, better known by his stage name OVERWERK, is a Canadian DJ, producer and graphic designer. Active since 2010, his style is often described as electro or complextro, and according to LA Weekly his music combines “dramatic, orchestral passages” with “serrated synths and dive-bombing basslines.” He has toured Canada, much of Europe, and the United States, opening for artists such as Avicii and headlining festivals such as the 2012 Escapade Music Festival. He won the 2014 New Canadian Music Vista Prize, and his songs have appeared in commercials for brands such as GoPro, Gucci, Lamborghini, Chrysler, Vogue, and Fortune Magazine. Edmond will be discussing his rise in the music industry as an independent artist and how he made it happen. Starting a business can be a difficult endeavor, and creating a brand image and becoming a successful musician is no different. He’ll be focusing on his story in the context of business and entrepreneurship, as well as touching on points that are specific to the music industry.
