Canadian singer-songwriter Katie Rox has commented on her success at KMC in an interview with Canadian music news site North By East West , saying , “ I have noticed CD sales , twitter and Facebook followers have increased since the trip , so I would say it was a success ! ” Rox explained the value of the conference in her view , saying further that the conference is especially valuable to independent musicians that lack the support of a major label . “ You need to make it known who you are . That can be hard without label support . ” KMC has built up a team of sponsors , partners , and supporters , both in Japan and internationally . Also , several charity drives for earthquake victims have been organized by the KMC Executive Board
