Funktasy Unmuted

Presented by the A&R team at Funktasy Records

This virtual session is the first in a new series of industry webinars hosted by Funktasy Academy.

Step into Unmuted — where silence isn’t an option and the conversation gets real. In this live webinar, we break down the biggest moments from the Billboard charts and Coachella stages, exploring how the artists who top the charts perform when it matters most. Do they live up to the hype? Are we witnessing brilliance or just well-packaged fluff? We’ll call out the wins, the misses, and everything in between — unfiltered and unapologetic.

Talk with industry experts

This session also dives into a deeper debate: Art vs. Artist — can we truly separate the music from the maker? With controversial figures like R. Kelly, Kanye West, and Diddy, the conversation gets complex. We’ll explore the impact on fan loyalty, brand deals, legacy, and public forgiveness — or the lack thereof.Whether you’re an artist, creative, or industry observer, Unmuted is your backstage pass to real industry conversation.

You’ll discover:

• Who’s delivering — and who’s just hype
• What really drives chart and festival success
• Where art ends and the artist begins
• How controversy impacts careers and loyalty
