Music Business 2.0
The music business is changing; it contracts and expands and the roles different companies play are evolving.
New entrants and opportunities arrive from all directions. From the dynamics of retail, as digital sales continue to rise, to the evolution of the artist contract and the very essence and definition of what we used to call a ‘record label’. The crystal ball is out and the prophets are speaking.
