My pleasure Atul Churamani sir, I hope there are more fruitful discussions about - 1. the core business models of streaming services and how to pivot to sustainability 2. an affordable 'easy-recharge' kind of roll out of public performance licenses to establishments playing music in India 3. rolling out the user-centric royalty distribution system (listener's money goes only to the artists they listen to) and comparing data with the current pro-rata system (all listener's money pooled into one pot and then distributed as per creator's proportion to all streams on that platform)
It’s been a fascinating 36 years in the music business and thanks to the patience of Aruna Jade, have recounted some of it plus thoughts on the business that I’d love to get your comments on. Personal views morph into industry practices with all inclusive dialogue. https://lnkd.in/dcmy_vaS #Musicmehfil #musicbusiness #Indianmusicindustry #musicpublishing

CEO, Youth Music; Councillor, Saltash Town Council; Chair, Saltash Labour; Speaker, Speaker For Schools;
It's great to see that the BRIT Awards are committed to making the show more inclusive, responding proactively to last year’s feedback by taking concerted actions for 2024. Nice one Dr Jo Twist OBE (she/her) YolanDa Brown OBE DL and the BPI team. #BRITs The 60 / 40 gender split in favour of female artists for the nominees in the Artist of the Year category is one of the standout developments following last year’s controversy. Doubling the number of nominations for Artist of the Year, International Artist of the Year and introduction of R&B as its own genre award are also positive steps forward, together with greater transparency in setting out the makeup and demographics of the Voting Academy. Plus the selection of Youth Music funded partner Saffron Records as the 'Official Supported Non-Profit for 2024' for the BRIT Awards & Mercury Prize is brilliant to see. It’s important now to build on this positive momentum as there’s more to be done to ensure a creative, diverse, and inclusive music industry. For young people, it’s imperative they see people like them represented in the nominations, awards and wider music industries. From a wide range of backgrounds in terms of gender, ethnicity, disability and socioeconomic background. It’s about young people having role models representing them and their lives both on and off stage. It’s also great for creativity too. Greater diversity produces greater music. Artists from a range of backgrounds create songs and lyrics often expressing their own lived experiences, challenges and observations on society. This provides us with rich, thoughtful music from a multitude of voices, platforming the diversity and creativity of the UK. And it all starts at the grassroots, supporting young people at the earliest age to make, learn and then earn in music. This is the national ecosystem we support and invest in at Youth Music and we ask the music industries to do the same with us. This in turn will create the very pipeline of diverse creative talent that’s being called for. ⬇️⬇️
“Greater diversity leads to greater creativity”. Youth Music CEO, Matt Griffiths, spoke on Times Radio this morning about RAYE’s history-making seven #BRITs nominations and how this year’s awards sees a more diverse lineup of nominees.

This #WorldRadioDay, let's confront the stark reality of the persistent, decades-long oversight that has artists from GRAMMY-winning global icons to local emerging artists left uncompensated for U.S. radio airplay. It's a mistreatment that often takes people by surprise, and it's easy to understand why. It's in sharp contrast to both global norms and practices within other platforms in the United States. Across every other democracy, terrestrial radio compensates artists for their work. Similarly, the U.S. recognizes the value artists bring to streaming, satellite, and cable. Yet #BigRadio has benefited from hundreds of billions in advertising revenue generated over a century from the loophole that exempts them from paying artists for their music. This is all at the expense of those who created the music that drew in the listeners. Artists should be fairly compensated each and every time their recorded work is used. It's the right thing to do. It’s time that broadcasters share a fair portion of their earnings. The American Music Fairness Act is a pivotal opportunity to correct the longstanding oversight. Let's join together to ensure a fairer future. It's not just about music; it's about justice, equity, and the future of our industry. #MusicFairness #FairCompensation #IRespectMusic
The United States is the ONLY democratic country where artists aren't paid for the use of their music on AM/FM radio. The artists who make the music we know and love deserve recognition and compensation for their work wherever it's played. This #WorldRadioDay, we're turning the spotlight on radio. It's time for #MusicFairness. Join us in support of the American Music Fairness Act: https://lnkd.in/gugnjhNW
