We have reached the limits of listening.
A new generation wants to lean in and to connect with the music and artists they love.
Artists want a business model that rewards that type of connection and fandom building.
Tatiana Cirisano
Vice President of Music Strategy
Speaking at: Music Tectonics 2024
More of us want to lean through, engage and create. Of course, there is the topic of AI tools as well.
They are lowering the barriers to entry and making it easier for people to start creating content that is of significant enough quality that other consumers will want to watch it.

Speaking at IBC 2024
Entertainment industries have become so obsessed with measuring the metrics.
The answer for them, as for consumers, may just lie in turning back the clock, and paying a little more attention to what happens offline.

AI, mobile, consumerisation, and the Global South will shape the future of the music creator economy and in turn, accelerate these trends in the wider music business.
AI has the potential to radically remake the creation side of the music business and may equally create an entirely new lane for the music business in terms of what consumers listen to, how they engage with that music, and what sort of companies serve those creators.
