  • Investing in Music How Music Companies Discover, Nurture and Promote Talent
    Investing in MusiC How music companies discover, nurture and promote talent Investing In Music 2012 contents 1 Introduction by Plácido Domingo 2 Commentary by Frances Moore and Alison Wenham 3 Section One: The Cycle of Investment 4 Section Two: Dicovering and Signing Talent 16 Section Three: Nurturing Talent 18 Section 4: Promoting Talent 3 2012 Investing In Music introduction by Plácido Domingo, Chairman of IFPI Other collaborations are also possible, for example between the artist and a management company. But all these efforts to promote music depend on the protection of the copyrights and intellectual property of the musicians and the producers of the music. Without such protection, investment will not be forthcoming. Collaboration and investment are defining qualities of the music industry and play a vital role in helping artists pursue their career. Of course, the digital era has brought dramatic changes, but I do not believe it has made the investors in music any less important. Even in the age of the internet, where self-publishing is so much easier for artists than in the past, technology alone I am fortunate to have had a career of more than 50 years in cannot ensure an artist’s work is heard and appreciated. music. I have worked with people of exceptional artistic talent That is why artists continue to work in partnership with record and I continue to work today to try and help young musicians companies, management and others to develop their careers fulfil their ambitions and creative potential as opera singers. and bring their music to the widest possible audience.

Barnett announced his long-planned decision to the full company this morning, in conjunction with Universal Group Chairman & CEO Sir Lucian Grainge. The two also jointly announced the promotion of Jeff Vaughn and Michelle Jubelirer to serve as CMG’s next leaders. Vaughn, currently President of Capitol Records, will become CMG Chairman and CEO, and current CMG COO Jubelirer will serve as CMG’s President and COO. According to Steve Barnett, “This has been an incredible journey, and I’ve been tremendously fortunate to work with such amazing people along the way. I am indebted to Lucian for his unwavering belief in me and for his unreserved support for our efforts these entire eight years. To say that I will always be grateful to him is truly an understatement. Michelle was the first to join me at CMG and has been my partner in revitalizing the company and creating an environment where artists and our employees could thrive. From the moment Jeff joined us, I knew he’d quickly make his mark on Capitol, and I’m certain that he and Michelle are the perfect team to guide CMG into the future.

  • Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping up in a Year of Turmoil
    Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping Up In A Year of Turmoil billboard.com/articles/business/9517071/billboard-change-agents-list-2021 By Billboard Staff 1/28/2021 © 2021 Billboard Media, LLC. All rights reserved. BILLBOARD is a registered trademark of Billboard IP Holdings, LLC Over the past year, the music industry began an extraordinary transformation. Heavy-hitting task forces were assembled to tackle racial inequality amid a wave of national protests against police brutality, while music’s biggest companies committed hundreds of millions of dollars to the cause. Artists and their managers, agents and promoters — many of whom saw their income plummet in the pandemic — were forced to reinvent their businesses as they sought relief from organizations fighting to help the live industry survive. Through it all, music professionals marched in the streets, encouraged people to vote in a historic election, brainstormed solutions on virtual panels and mourned the loss of family, friends and music legends to COVID-19. In other words, it didn’t feel much like a year for congratulating music’s most powerful people on how powerful they still are. So instead of compiling the Power List that Billboard has published annually since 2012, we decided instead to honor some of the individuals changing the business — both by advocacy and by example — in our first Change Agents issue. 1/39 This is by no means meant to be a comprehensive list of music executives fighting for justice or changing the game. It does not, for example, include the heads of the major music groups, even though Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge announced an initial $25 million “Change Fund,” convened a social justice task force and promised more action to follow, while Sony Music Group chairman Rob Stringer drove the creation of a $100 million Sony fund to fight racism around the world and Warner Music Group CEO Steve Cooper pledged to steer a $100 million donation from owner Len Blavatnik to music industry charities and social justice as well.
