Benson Zhang return to China IMX 2025 in Shanghai for the second year — this time as both a speaker and moderator

It was such an honor to return to China IMX 2025 in Shanghai for the second year — this time as both a speaker and moderator!

I joined the roundtable “Roots from Around the World: The Fusion and Innovation of World Music,” alongside

• James Lawton (Producer, Room8 Music, UK)

• Davidson Lynch Shyllon (SILVASTONE, Founder of White Hut Studios, UK)

to discuss how world music can bridge cultures and inspire innovation.

I also had the pleasure of moderating the panel “How to Go Global Through Collaboration,” featuring international music industry leaders:

• Martin Jensen (Project Manager, JazzDanmark, Denmark)

• Jay Reynolds (Music Director & A&R, Tristar Records Ltd, UK)

• Alexey Evseev (Director, ANO Creative Economy, Russia)

• Voision Xi (Indie Musician, China)

Grateful for the inspiring exchanges with such passionate creators from around the world. Thank you China IMX for bringing together so many forward-thinking voices in the global music scene!
