So many Manhattan smoke pictures so little time

Great podcast ⁦@musicbizworld⁩ on missed Music value potential via specialised streaming business rates. Could also unlock more appropriate Music Creator revenue cos business usage, as ‘public performance’, flow$ via PRS & PPL. Bring it on. musicbusinessworldwide.com/podcast/can-en…

Been banging on about this for years. Personal Spotify accounts are used in businesses everywhere. It’s unlicensed and it MASSIVELY warps listening figures and payouts. How much ‘hyperlistening’ is just coffee shops? #BrokenRecord @musicbizworld musicbusinessworldwide.com/podcast/can-en…

.@davido earned his biggest streaming day of all-time on Spotify on March 31 following 'Timeless', with 8.7 million streams.

I’ve never met ⁦@jimmyrstone⁩ but, I gotta say, a solid read on us here. It’s not gonna be easy, Jimmy. But we’re sure gonna give it our best shot! open.substack.com/pub/jimmystone…

@justcallmetroy @RuncieDan Oh man thank you means a lot coming from you, @justcallmetroy

@RuncieDan @mpinc Matt is the real deal.

Last year, MUSIC raised $200M to invest in companies like Splice, DICE, HIFI, and LVRN. On the podcast, MUSIC founder Matt Pincus (@mpinc) shared 4 things he looks for in companies. 1. Invest in companies, not products. Company needs to own its tech stack, and be built to suit the market it wants to be in. Make sure their technical capabilities and assets can get the company where it needs to go. 2. Target a large addressable market Focus on companies with a big enough TAM. There are cool widgets out there but if it’s only loved by 15k people it’s not big enough for expected returns. 3. Have a defensible business model Companies at this stage should have a true moat, you need to own where you live. Their products and features should be something that can't easily copied by Facebook, Google, or Apple. 4. Invest in people This is especially true in music when navigating record labels and publishing companies. The more training and development for execs, the stronger these companies will be and the better off the industry will be.

@RuncieDan Hanging with you was a great time, and got around more than maybe anything else we did. Thanks again, @RuncieDan!

How many times did the Batmobile catch a flat?

Super proud to be honored as one of #billboard's top #womeninmusic this last week, and what better way to celebrate than by hosting some of the most amazing women producers at a dinner with @splice.

@jherskowitz Didn’t come out of nowhere, Meng’s been building it since 2015. Reaching a tipping point now and popping up in a lot of situations.

@aweissman Maybe these guys too
