Aziz Bougrine: Visionary Manager and Multifaceted Artist
Aziz Bougrine, passionate career manager and versatile artist, is the creative mastermind behind renowned musician and virtual DJ, m1n0t0r. Armed with exceptional versatility, he wears multiple hats to promote the artist and boost his digital influence.
At the heart of his mission, Aziz ensures the distribution of m1n0t0r's music on various streaming platforms. His role doesn't stop there, however: he also excels in art direction, sculpting the artist's visual identity, whether through the design of his avatar or the meticulous choice of VJs for his djsets. Aziz has an innate flair for booking m1n0t0r in virtual clubs and online events and festivals around the world.
His expertise extends far beyond this, encouraging m1n0t0r to develop its online presence by strategically positioning it on virtual reality platforms such as VRROOM and VRchat, as well as in popular games such as Roblox and The Sandbox.
Aziz Bougrine has also achieved a remarkable feat in propelling m1n0t0r as the first French virtual musician with an international reputation. He has orchestrated performances at prestigious festivals such as SXSW in Austin, La Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Raindance Immersive in London, and GoEast in Eastern Europe, to name but a few. In addition, his collaboration with m1n0t0r on charity events has attracted international recognition. For example, "United for peace in Ukraine" at the SXSW festival raised funds for the Ukrainian people, while "Stepan and friends" at the Raindance festival launch collected donations to help cats in Ukraine, even earning a nomination in the "Best Social Impact" category.
But Aziz doesn't just manage other people's careers. As an artist himself, under the name Mlemkid, he explores the creative possibilities of artificial intelligence in music, video and visual creation. In the near future, he aspires to extend his role as manager to other artists, guiding them towards a flourishing presence in the metaverse. In addition, he plans to create revolutionary hybrid events, where m1n0t0r's live performances are broadcast simultaneously in both the physical world and the metaverse, an experiment already successful at the VISIV techno party at the Accord Défense Arena.
Aziz Bougrine embodies the future of art management, a perfect fusion of creativity, technology and social commitment.
