BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION IN THE RECORDING INDUSTRY (VMBRD)

CAN MUSICIANS STILL MAKE MONEY WITH RECORDINGS?
10:00-11:00 | Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn-Saal
Although this market went down massively, there is still substantial money in sales and streaming of recorded music, thus beyond licensing and sync deals. But do the musicians see any of this money? Perhaps the big labels acclaim every new streaming service because they don’t have to share most of their revenue with their artists?

Drawing from a deep reservoir of sunny guitar melodies and deadly choruses, the quintet also has a fine sense of humour.
