Classes are scheduled between April to May at New Delhi’s Sri Aurobindo Centre for Arts and Communication
NEW DELHI-BASED MUSIC entrepreneur Ritnika Nayan has been involved with music at different capacities from being a musician to getting into the business side of things for nearly 20 years. While studying at Hofstra University, New York, Nayan organized concerts for bands such as American pop rock group Maroon 5 and Canadian rock outfit Nickelback.
After obtaining her masters in Music Business from London’s University of Westminster in 2006 and interning with Peter Jenner (ex manager of Pink Floyd and The Clash), Nayan returned to India the following year and realized that there weren’t enough management companies to hire her and hence she went ahead and started her own artist management agency called Music Gets Me High. She went on to manage artists such as New Delhi electornica group Jalebee Cartel, EDM artist Nucleya, Mumbai electro duo Shaa’ir and Func, fusion band Advaita and alt rock outfit Menwhopause among others. Nayan has also worked on festivals in the country such as Ziro Festival of Music and SulaFest.
