FAQ

What does the winner get?

Publishing Admin Deal with Illmind

ONE WINNER will receive a Publishing Admin Deal with Illmind's "Roseville Music Group" (a joint venture with Empire Publishing) with a $10,000 advance (3-year term upon recoupment). This is NOT A "Co-Publishing" or "All-In" Deal, which means Illmind nor Empire will receive or retain ANY ownership of your works or publishing. You keep 100% ownership. This is a simple 3 year Pub Admin deal with a manageable advance.

What happens after I sign the deal?

The work starts!

Illmind is currently building a "dream team" of talented musicians in all aspects of the artform to collaborate with him and everyone else signed to "Roseville Music Group" for major placements, tv, film sync and much more.

FAQ

I'm a music producer. Is this my chance to collaborate (and make a beat) with !llmind?

Maybe, but not likely. This session doesn't guarantee that !llmind will want to collaborate with you. If he hears something he likes, then you never know. It's simply an opportunity to play your music for !llmind. There are no guarantees.

I'm a rapper. Does this mean I should expect to do a song with !llmind during our session?

No. Again, if you play something he likes, you never know what could happen. Illmind has been known to continue collaborating with up and coming artists that he likes.

Will there be food?

YES! We will take a food break at the halfway point of the session (vegan options will be available).

Will there be parking available?

There should be, but space is limited (first come, first serve). We highly recommend public transportation or Uber.

When did Illmind start hosting these types of events?

The first live Pass The Aux session was in 2015. Since then, Illmind has toured the world and sat down with thousands of music creators. A lot of it was documented and is on Youtube. You can watch one of them HERE.
