Music + Deals at The Great Escape next Thursday
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 4 May 2023
The Great Escape takes place in Brighton next week, with the CMU+TGE Sessions sitting at the heart of the TGE Conference once again. Over three days the CMU team will put the spotlight on three key themes: music and education, music and deals, and music and the creator economy.
Music + Deals – presented in association with beatBread – takes place on Thursday 11 May. Tapping into CMU Insights research, we will look at deal-making across the music industry in 2023, including the deals done between artists and their business partners, and between the industry and other businesses making use of music.
We will begin the day by discussing what music-makers who are running their own artist businesses need from their industry partners – including money, marketing and infrastructure – and what assets they have to offer those partners – including rights, revenues and reach. We will then look at the different options now available to artists and the deals they may seek to negotiate.
Later in the day we’ll look at the latest music consumption trends and ask what impact they will have on the industry’s digital deals in the future – plus we’ll investigate how samples and interpolations are delivering new licensing opportunities for songwriters and music publishers.
The schedule for the day runs like this…
10.00-11.00: The Artist Business In 2023 – Rights, Revenues & Reach
