The Blueprint Inaugural Desihiphop festival

One weekend. Two days. Music rights, funding, branding, festival bookings and songwriting, plus a live cypher, Toronto hip-hop history, and the Mumbai Cypher documentary with filmmaker Q&A.

Blueprint is for emerging and working South Asian music creators in Canada — rappers, singers, songwriters, producers, beatmakers, managers, DJs, and anyone actively building the music scene around them. It’s especially valuable if you’ve released work but never registered it, pitched it, or been paid properly for it.
