The conference was a productive one for Mongolian band Altan Urag. Invited to perform as the opening act of Music Matters, the six-piece was so impressive that they have signed to performing rights association BMI for their worldwide performing rights representation. Altan Urag consists of six graduates of the Music and Dance College of Mongolia. Formed in 2002 and with seven albums to date, the group is sponsored by coal mining company South Gobi Resources whose CEO Alexander Molyneux said: 'We are delighted to see Altan Urag sign its first international agreement with BMI thanks to the networking opportunities at Music Matters.'

Music Matters 2010 culminated in the inaugural Music Matters Live with H&M Festival featuring 37 bands from 12 countries playing five venues in Hong Kong's Lan Kwai Fong district.
