Salaam Remi on music, business, Amy Winehouse – and always learning 36:54

cách đây 39 weeks trước36:54

36:54

Welcome to the latest MBW Podcast – this time a special podcast entry in our long-running World's Greatest Producers series. Salaam Remi is, by any measure, a World's Greatest Producer. A Grammy winner, he's worked closely – and made timeless hits – with musical legends from Nas to Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, The Fugees, and many more. He's also an accomplished music biz executive and entrepreneur. On this podcast, Salaam joins MBW founder, Tim Ingham, to discuss topics including techniques for staying creatively hungry, why he decided to stop actively producing records on his 50th birthday, and what he's learned working with some of the most important artists of all time. Salaam also discusses his own music rights management company, Analog Metaverse, and its new partnership with Warner Chappell Music. (WCM's CEO is Remi's long-time friend, Guy Moot.) MBW's World's Greatest Producers series is supported by Hipgnosis.…

On the latest Music Business Worldwide Podcast, Tim Ingham, founder of MBW, is joined by the founder and CEO of Harbourview Equity Partners, Sherrese Clarke Soares (pictured). Since being established in 2021, Harbourview has acquired premium music assets associated with stars such as Wiz Khalifa Nelly, Lady A, Florida Georgia Line and Christine McVie. One of Harbourview's biggest deals to date was its reported $325 million purchase of Sound House Acquisitions LLC in 2022. The company has since expanded into other entertainment verticals, investing in assets in film/TV. Founded with backing from Apollo Global Management, Harbourview has more recently inked a deal to secure $500 million in debt from KKR via a private securitization of its catalog of music royalties. On this podcast, Ingham asks Soares about Harbourview's ambitions to keep on buying in the music and entertainment space, streaming trends, and much more.…

Amra is disrupting the world of global royalty collections – with big plans for what's next. 29:20

cách đây 43 weeks trước29:20

29:20

On the latest Music Business Worldwide Podcast, Tim Ingham, founder of MBW, is joined by the CEO of Amra, Tomas Ericsson (pictured). Amra is a global digital collection society that happens to be owned by Kobalt Music Group. Since Kobalt acquired and relaunched Amra in 2015, the collection society has become a fast-growing business in its own right: in the 12 months to the end of June 2022 – the last year for which public financial information is available – Amra generated over USD $110 million in revenue. Amra's clients today include Kobalt's global publishing business, plus other significant independent music publishers, including Anthem Entertainment and Armada Music Publishing. Prior to joining Amra and Kobalt, Tomas Ericsson was Deputy CEO of Swedish collection society STIM, and he was the Managing Director of ICE until 2009. (At that time, ICE was a joint venture between STIM and the UK's PRS For Music; it would later welcome Germany's GEMA as a third stakeholder.) On this podcast, Ingham asks Ericsson about the changing landscape for songwriter royalty collection, the opportunity ahead – and the fact that Amra has, to date, invested more than $50 million upgrading and expanding its core technology...…

What does the future hold for SoundCloud? 36:36

On the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Eliah Seton, the CEO of SoundCloud. Seton (pictured) joined SoundCloud as the company’s President in 2021 after over a decade at Warner Music Group/ADA. Seton then became CEO of SoundCloud last year. During his time at SoundCloud he has steered the company beyond major milestones – including SoundCloud's first ever annual profit, posted last year. The biggest headline surrounding SoundCloud in 2024, however, has been the news that the company is headed towards a financial event: either a sale, an IPO, or some kind of raise, following investments in the firm in recent years from Sirius XM, Raine Group, and Temasek. Meanwhile, Seton confirms that SoundCloud hosts 400 million tracks today - making it significantly bigger as a streaming platform for listeners than other audio services. At the same time, it's a powerful partner for millions of creators, offering distribution and additional services to accelerate their careers.…

With 550 employees and 40 offices globally, ONErpm remains fully owned by its founder 39:57

cách đây 47 weeks trước39:57

39:57

On the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Emmanuel Zunz , founder of ONErpm , one of the recorded music industry's most interesting companies and something of a quiet giant. When it was founded in 2010, ONErpm quickly gained ground in Brazil, where it continues to challenge the major record companies for market share. Since finding success in Brazil, ONErpm has grown all over the planet, offering a range of partnerships to artists, from low-margin DIY distribution to higher-margin full-service deals. Understood to turn over a substantial nine-figure sum each year, ONErpm is profitable because it has to be: One of the most remarkable things about the company, over and above the fact that it runs more than 40 offices globally, is that Zunz continues to fully own the business. He's never taken a cent of private equity or venture capital money , and he's rebuffed a number of acquisition approaches from major music companies and other parties. As he explains on this podcast, Zunz’s ambition is simple — to become the fifth largest record company in the world while maintaining a profitable, sustainable business controlled by its founder……

On this episode of Music Business Worldwide's Talking Trends, MBW founder, Tim Ingham , is once again joined by Charlie D'Atri , to discuss two key recent headlines from the world of entertainment. This week's duo of topical picks get our hosts more irritated than usual: (1) The US Department of Justice suing Live Nation and Ticketmaster in a bid to break up what it describes as an "unlawful monopoly".

'We are witnessing a recalibration of what it means to create pop music...' 23:57

On the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Temi Adeniji , Managing Director of Warner Music Africa and SVP of Sub-Saharan Africa at Warner. Africa, especially Sub-Saharan Africa, is already a major global music industry story with huge potential for the future. On the music-making side of things, the continent has produced global hits and superstars in recent years including the likes of Burna Boy from Nigeria, Tyla from South Africa, and many others. Based in Johannesburg, Adeniji has been instrumental in a number of initiatives from Warner Music Group in Africa in recent years, including its partnership in Nigeria with Chocolate City , signed in 2019, as well as its acquisition of distributor Africori in 2022. Adeniji was born in Nigeria before moving to the US as a child, where she later graduated from Princeton University and then Columbia University, before building a successful career in law. She then joined Warner Music Group in New York in 2016, working across international strategy and operations, before relocating for her current job in Johannesburg in 2021. On this podcast, Temi discusses the potential of various African markets, plus Warner’s own strategy in the region, and the general commercial excitement in the music biz surrounding the continent.…

Spotify vs. Songwriters (again)... and a 'likely' legal fight 31:53

cách đây 1 year trước31:53

31:53

On this Music Business Worldwide podcast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by David Israelite, the President and CEO of the National Music Publishers' Association. We probably don't need to ask you to guess which particular controversial topic Israelite and Ingham discuss. Earlier this month, Spotify announced that it was changing the way it calculates mechanical royalty payments for songwriters and publishers in the US. Spotify has re-categorized its Premium subscription tiers in the States as 'bundles,' enabling it to pay out a lesser mechanical royalty rate to songwriters than it would if said Premium tiers were classified as pure music services. Spotify believes it is entitled to re-categorize these tiers as 'bundles' due to the fact that SPOT now offers access to music plus audiobooks. The idea that 'bundled' services should be entitled to a lower mechanical royalty rate (vs. standard music subscription services) was enshrined in the so-called 'CRB IV' agreement/settlement between publishers and Spotify in the States, signed in 2022, and covering the years 2023-2027. As David Israelite explains on this podcast, the NMPA is currently considering legal action against Spotify that would seek to undo the newly-lowered 'bundle' mechanical royalty rate on the service. This isn't the first time that Spotify and songwriters have butted heads, of course: In 2019, the US Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) decreed that Spotify and other streaming services needed to increase the headline mechanical royalty rates they paid publishers and songwriters in the US for the period covering 2018-2022. That decision from the CRB (in the so-called 'CRB III' process) followed a campaign of lobbying and general legal cajoling from the NMPA, on behalf of songwriters and publishers. Spotify (and Amazon) subsequently appealed this ('CRB III') ruling, attempting to drive down the mechanical royalty rate they paid songwriters under US law. The CRB, though, stood firm – and told the streamers they must increase their rate. Now, with its 'bundle' reclassification under 'CRB IV', Spotify is once again attempting to push down the percentage of its revenue that it must, by law, pay to songwriters and publishers in its biggest market. Will Spotify ultimately get away with it? Stay tuned. As Israelite confirms on this podcast: "This will likely end up in a legal conflict..."…

‘When artists say they want to be independent, what they really mean is they want to be autonomous.' 45:35

cách đây 1 year trước45:35

45:35

On the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Milana Rabkin Lewis , the founder and CEO of Los Angeles-based Stem , a distribution and services company, including financial services for independent artists. Stem has had a big 12 months. A major highlight arrived last summer when the company announced it had secured a $250 million credit agreement with Victory Park Capital , which has transformed the size and scope of artist advances that Stem can offer. For a firm that has grown used to seeing some of its biggest independent artists jump to major label deals, that $250 million raise is something of a game changer for Stem and Milana. Long-term listeners to MBW's podcasts may remember that this isn't Milana’s first time speaking to us. She last appeared on this podcast four years ago, just at the tip of the pandemic, and she volunteered a number of predictions about the music businesses in the years ahead, many of which have already come true, or at least partly come true. On this podcast, Milana and Tim discuss – with some agreement, but not always – several crucial topics in the music business right now, from TikTok versus Universal Music Group to artist-centric streaming royalties to artificial intelligence , and of course Stem, and why Milana truly believes she is building a music company fit for the future.…

J. Erving on RAYE, independent artists, and selling Human Re Sources to Sony Music 26:26

cách đây 1 year trước26:26

26:26

Welcome to the latest Music Business Worldwide Podcast, supported by Voly Entertainment. J oining MBW founder, Tim Ingham, on this podcast is Julius Erving III, better known as J. Erving. Erving is the founder of Los Angeles-based Human Re Sources, a distribution and services company working with premium independent artists. Its successful clients since launch have included Brent Faiyiz, Pinks Sweats, Ant Clemons, and YBN Nahmir. Right now, though, people are focusing on Human Re Sources for one artist more than any other: RAYE. In February 2024, two years after that signing to Human Re Sources, RAYE swept the UK’s BRIT Awards, with a record-breaking six wins including Album Of The Year. There is, then, lots to ask J Erving about the success of independent artists like RAYE – and what that reflects about the wider music business. On this podcast, we also ask him about his previous life as an artist manager, his personal motivations, and his decision in 2020 to sell Human Re Sources to Sony Music and The Orchard.…

Aaron Bay-Schuck on Zach Bryan, Warner Records' resurgence, and why you 'can't microwave artist development' 37:12

cách đây 1 year trước37:12

37:12

On this Music Business Worldwide Podcast, MBW founder, Tim Ingham , interviews Aaron Bay-Schuck , the CEO and co-Chairman of Warner Records in Los Angeles. Right now, Warner Records is on fire like no other time in its recent history. It's seeing blockbuster success from several artists who, according to Bay-Schuck , are all true artist propositions – in this industry for the long-term, rather than just a quick streaming or TikTok hit. These artists include the likes of Teddy Swims , Benson Boone , Dua Lipa , and – not least – country star Zach Bryan , whose No.1 US single, I Remember Everything (feat. Kacey Musgraves), continues to bounce around the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100... despite being released last summer. Alongside his fellow co-Chairman, Tom Corson, Aaron Bay-Schuck last year led Warner Records to become the fourth biggest frontline record company in the US. According to Billboard, Warner Records 'current' US market share jumped by 110 basis points in 2023, up to 5.96% from 4.86% in 2022. Bay-Schuck's industry story before Warner was an interesting journey – from being a junior at the A&R team of Atlantic Records, where he signed Bruno Mars , through to becoming President of A&R at Interscope, where he worked with the likes of Imagine Dragons, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, and Selena Gomez . For Bay-Schuck , his more recent success with Zach Bryan and co. isn't evidence of Warner Records suddenly becoming a ‘hot’ label. In his eyes, it’s evidence of a patient, long-term, and consistent A&R strategy……

Over a third of UK small music venues operate at a loss – and two of them close every week. 25:57

cách đây 1 year trước25:57

25:57

Hello and welcome to the latest Music Business Worldwide Podcast, supported by Voly Music – now known as Voly Entertainment. On this podcast, MBW founder Tim Ingham discusses a crisis that's rapidly deteriorating the UK live music scene. The Music Venue Trust is a trade body representing the interests of a vital collective of British live music venues. It’s just released a bunch of shocking statistics in its annual report – including the fact that in 2023, an average of two of the UK’s live music venues were shutting their doors every WEEK. Amongst the venues that Music Venue Trust represents are what it calls Grassroots Music Venues, or GMVs. It surveyed 835 of these GMVs for its 2023 annual report. These venues have an average capacity of 309 people, though that can range to a capacity over 650 people. As mentioned, the Music Venue Trust’s latest report shows that two GMVs are shutting down per week in the UK. But perhaps the most shocking data point in the new report is that 38.5% of GMVs reported an annual financial loss in 2023. To repeat that: Over a third of ‘club’-sized music venues in the UK are currently operating at a loss. On this podcast, Tim Ingham is joined by Mark Davyd, founder and CEO of the Music Venue Trust. Davyd explains how his organization intends to solve this issue – likely via a levy placed on ticket sales in larger venues like arenas and stadiums. He also explains why this is a more complicated scenario than merely being the free market in action – and suggests that it’s only a matter of time before the UK’s live music venue crisis reaches a similar point of desperation in the United States……

A different kind of streaming fraud: Over 1m 'manipulated' tracks are on audio streaming services 21:15

cách đây 1 year trước21:15

21:15

On this episode of the Music Business Worldwide podcast – supported by Voly Entertainment – MBW founder, Tim Ingham, is joined by Rasty Turek. Rasty is the founder and CEO of Pex – which, amongst other things, tracks and analyses copyrighted content on digital services. According to Pex's tech, over a million tracks on audio streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and TIDAL, are not what they appear to be. These million-plus tracks are what Pex calls “modified audio” – which means an original track has been sped up, slowed down, or otherwise manipulated, and then uploaded as an entirely new recording. The main issue for the music industry? Unless these million-plus tracks have legally licensed the original recording on which they’re based, they’re infringing copyright. More than that, they’re pulling royalties away from the original artists in question. Pex has provided a number of examples of ‘sped up’ tracks on audio streaming platforms that aren’t attributed to a recording's original artist. There’s a version of Halsey’s 'Without Me', for example, with over 6 million streams on Spotify. There’s also modified version of Coldplay and The ChainSmokers’ ‘Something Just Like This’ that has over 12 million plays. It’s not hard to find more: I took a cursory search through Spotify before recording this and discovered a sped-up version of Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj’s Beauty and a Beat with over 8 million streams, and a sped-up version of Lady Gaga’s Bloody Mary with over 25 million streams. In all of these cases, the credited artist on each track – and therefore, presumably the artist account collecting royalties – is not the original artist in question. As you can hear in our interview with Pex’s Rasty Turek, he thinks this is an industry failing – and something of a sibling to streaming fraud……

How can the music business better serve 'superfans' – and can it really ask them for more money? 30:17

cách đây 2 years trước30:17

30:17

Hello and welcome to the latest Music Business Worldwide Podcast, supported by Voly Entertainment. On this 'cast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by two people who know all about music 'superfans': Alexander Seidl, the CEO of Aviator, and Lindsay Jones, the COO of Aviator. Aviator, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, specializes in serving these superfans rare content from the artists they love – often with archive video that has long gone undiscovered and has been gathering dust. It’s worked with artists including Mark Knopfler, James Taylor, Cliff Richard, Cher, James Brown and Olivia Newton-John. Aviator also specializes in rights clearance and rights management. You can see how that expertise marries with its archive content business – Aviator finds, say, the long-forgotten content from a French TV performance in 1986, clears the rights, smartens up the audio and video using hi-tech tools, before finally releasing it to... superfans. This expertise in serving superfans, especially superfans of catalog artists, puts Aviator squarely in the center of one of the defining questions of today’s music business: Is the industry getting enough money from superfans – and is it serving them adequately?…

Hello and Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music. On this podcast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Anthony Davenport, the CEO and founder of New York-headquartered Regal Credit Management. Regal Credit, as the name suggests, helps high-profile and high-net-worth individuals with their credit – both in terms of building it and protecting it. Regal Credit, which was recently named on the Inc. 5000 list of companies in the US, counts many clients from across the music business The particular reason we invited Davenport on this podcast was to discuss a tool of Regal’s called CyberSweep. CyberSweep is a data removal service that either suppresses or outright deletes personal information from across the internet – whether on the dark web or more legitimate sites. According to Davenport, Cyber Sweep has been used by very high-profile figures in the music business including superstar artists - who are looking to protect themselves both from fraudulent online activity, and from stalking from fans. On this podcast Davenport discusses why he believes such activity is becoming a growing societal problem, and we also get time to dig into Davenport’s own interesting origin story that led to the birth of Regal Credit.…

Scott Cohen on his optimism for the music industry – and JKBX's 'transformative' launch 38:21

cách đây 2 years trước38:21

38:21

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music. Joining MBW founder, Tim Ingham, on this podcast is Scott Cohen, the CEO of JKBX. JKBX is a new platform that enables investors (including so-called ‘retail investors’) to acquire royalty shares in hit songs. It will, in future, also allow you to trade those royalty shares by selling them to others. JKBX launched in September and according to Bloomberg had over $1.7 billion -worth of music assets secured. Right now on the platform, JKBX is offering royalty shares in hit songs like Halo performed by Beyoncé, Rumour Has It performed by Adele, Welcome To New York performed by Taylor Swift, and many more. However, as you read this, you can only reserve your acquisition of royalty shares on JKBX. Before it completes any transaction, the company is in the process of attempting to secure regulated approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (aka the SEC). As well as its primary investor, Dundee Partners, JKBX has reportedly attracted strategic investors including Spotify, Live Nation, YouTube, Red Light Management and others. Things to know about Scott Cohen before we get into the podcast? He is the co-founder of The Orchard – which he co-launched with Richard Gottehrer in the second half of the nineties, before selling it to Sony Music for a total of around $250 million, partly in 2012 and partly in 2015. Before joining JKBX, Scott was most recently Chief Innovation Officer at Warner Music Group, where he kept his ear close to the ground on tech such as artificial intelligence, the metaverse, and blockchain. On this podcast, we ask Scott about JKBX’s prospects, the changing nature of technology’s involvement in music, and the lessons he learned building the Orchard into a $250 million company……

Welcome to the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music . On this 'cast Tim Ingham, founder of Music Business Worldwide, is joined by Maria Egan, the Global Head of Music – as well as events – at Riot Games. Riot is home to a number of extremely popular online games, including League of Legends and Valorant. But it’s also a TV and movie producer: Riot made the award-winning Netflix animated series, Arcane. Today, Riot Games is owned by Chinese giant Tencent, which paid $400 million to buy a 93% stake in the company in 2011. Maria Egan joined Riot last year from music-making platform Splice, where she was Chief Music Officer. Prior to that, Egan was a highly successful President and Head of Creative at PULSE Music Group. Egan's career so far has seen her work closely with talent including Kehlani, Tiesto, Run The Jewels, and more. She is also an alumnus of Columbia Records, where she was once Vice President of A&R. In addition to its work in games, TV, and film, Riot Games is taking music very seriously: It has previously worked with Imagine Dragons on the hit single from the Arcane soundtrack, Enemy, which has over 2 billion streams to date. Each year, for the League of Legends World Championship, a different track is chosen as the official anthem of the tournament. In previous years, this honor has fallen to the likes of Imagine Dragons and Lil Nas X. For this year’s tournament, the anthem comes from fast-rising Korean act New Jeans, who are signed to HYBE, with a track called GODS.…

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music. On this podcast we dive head first into one of the most-talked-about topics in the music biz this year. That topic is generative AI music, but more specifically, the fact that vast volumes of music are now being produced by AI platforms and then uploaded onto various streaming platforms. There is arguably no one better placed to talk on this topic than Alex Mubert, founder and co-CEO of the self-titled platform Mubert. That’s because, in July, Mubert announced that its AI platform had now been used to create more than 100 million music tracks, with an average length of over 4 minutes. As it pointed out, Mubert’s 100 million created tracks were roughly the same size in volume as the entire catalog available on Spotify. Mubert’s sub-platforms include Mubert Render, for online content creators – YouTubers, podcasters etc. – looking to create royalty-free soundtracks for their productions. There’s also Mubert Studio, for artists and composers, which allows musical creators to earn money on tracks, samples and loops. On this podcast, you’ll hear Music Business Worldwide editor - Murray Stassen – ask Alex Mubert all about that 100 million stat, and how AI music is going to change the industry in the years ahead……

Welcome to the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music . On this 'cast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Denis Ladegaillerie , founder and CEO of Believe . Paris-headquartered Believe is now well established as one of the largest recorded music companies in the world, both via its Believe-branded artist and label services operation, as well as its subsidiary, TuneCore, which announced the close of last year that it had paid out over USD $3 billion t o independent artists to date. Believe currently is valued at around USD $1 billion on the Paris Euronext stock exchange, having turned over around USD $450 million in revenue in the first half of 2023. (Believe reports its revenues in Euros.) On this podcast, MBW's Ingham asks Ladegaillerie all about a number of key topics including: - How the music industry should deal with streaming fraud; - Why Asia is set to commercially explode in music in the years ahead; - What Believe’s strategy is to challenge the ‘major’ music companies; and - Yep... Artificial Intelligence. (AI is a particularly timely subject at Believe and TuneCore, which recently partnered with Grimes to distribute music created by other artists using an AI replication of her voice.) One other important point: Believe is no longer just a recorded music company. Since March it has also run its own global music publishing operation , housed under TuneCore, following Believe's acquisition of the $51 million-valued Sentric Music .…

Welcome to the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music . On this 'cast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Lisa Yang, Managing Director of Media & Internet at Goldman Sachs’ Global Investment Research. Yang keeps a very close eye on the music business – and is the lead analyst on Goldman’s hugely influential ‘Music In The Air’ paper, a new and updated version of which is released each year. The latest iteration of ‘Music In The Air’ arrived in June 2023, and contained amongst its 72 pages financial and data analysis of all corners of the music business. It also contained headline forecasts, including that the global recorded music industry will be generating over $50 billion dollars by 2030, from some 1.2 billion paying streaming subscribers worldwide. On this podcast we ask Lisa about her team’s latest forecasts in 'Music In The Air', while picking on her brains on other conclusions from the report, and asking more generally about how the global music business will change in the decade ahead of us….…

'People really like music. But the music industry lets everyone else capture the value.' 18:12

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music . On this 'cast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Travis Rosenblatt, founder of the SaaS platform for A&R research and scouting, Meddling. Rosenblatt is a particularly interesting person to speak to because, by his own admission, he spends a lot of his time NOT consumed in his day job. This allows him the bandwidth to think deeply about the music business, its challenges, and where it might be headed in future. Meddling is very clever, gathering data from multiple touchpoints on new artists for clients that have included the likes of Republic Records , Kobalt , Columbia Records , and Atlantic Records . But as a SaaS platform, Meddling largely runs itself – enabling Rosenblatt’s mind to wander toward various crucial topics for the modern music industry. On this podcast, Ingham asks Rosenblatt about Meddling – a bit – but their conversation also dives into PROs, DIY distribution, music’s role on video platforms, and much more besides……

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music . On this podcast, one of the industry's sharpest minds, Will Page, joins MBW founder Tim Ingham to cover a range of topics including pricing, streaming, royalties – and why the global industry is more local than ever. Page is the ex-Chief Economist of both Spotify and UK collection society PRS For Music. These days he’s a consultant and the author of the book Tarzan Economics (aka Pivot), which presents compelling principles for business owners facing uncertain and disruptive times. Will is also the co-author of a new paper published by the London School of Economics and Political Science that focuses on what he calls ‘Glocalisation’ of music. In other words, music has never been more global as an industry, yet when you dig into the most popular tracks in individual markets, they have a decidedly local feel.…
