In our business, we often encounter the valuation of #intellectualproperty, which is also one of the most interesting and complex areas of valuation. Following the latest summer news of a potential sale of the Queen music catalog, we looked at the financials of the previous deals as well as at the financials of the current holder of the Queen catalog rights, which is Queen Productions Ltd. So far, it looks like the deal is in line with the #musicindustry referential transactions, which valued music catalogs at 20-30 times their annual revenues. Queen is certainly up there with the giants of the music business, so there is a chance of a higher valuation. On the other hand, current transaction activity is below the peak years in terms of number and value of executed transactions. Is it a plus or minus in respect to this transactions? Let's see... It is not done yet and we are curious what happens after this summer 🙂

Your work is equivalent to the value you place on it! You might wonder how you can “value” your works; think about how much time you invested into it, the resources ( human and financial) you put into it, the intellectual property etc all this and more are factors you should put into consideration when investors want to buy your works. This is a very important point to note when it comes to music business. #valueformoney #musicalworks #intellectualproperty #musicbusiness101 #business #musicbusinessacademy #allyouneedtoknow

Management Lessons from Carnatic Music: The Symphony of Synchrony As I listen to Abhishek Raghuram’s mesmerizing Carnatic performance, I can’t help but draw parallels between the seamless harmony of a Carnatic ensemble and effective business management. Carnatic music is not just an art form; it’s a masterclass in coordination, leadership, and adaptability. Here’s what businesses can learn: 🎵 The Role of the Lead: In Carnatic music, the vocalist or lead sets the tone, much like a leader in an organization. They provide vision and direction, ensuring all team members align with the overarching goal. 🎻 Complementary Roles: The violinist follows and enhances the lead, the mridangam (percussion) keeps the rhythm, and other instrumentalists add texture. Similarly, in a business, teams must play distinct but complementary roles, creating a collective impact greater than individual contributions. 🎶 Improvisation Within Structure: Carnatic music thrives on improvisation (manodharma), yet it stays grounded in a strong framework (raga and tala). Businesses too must encourage innovation while maintaining a clear structure, enabling agility without losing focus. 🪘 Listening and Adaptation: The performers constantly listen to each other, adapting in real-time to maintain harmony. In management, fostering active listening and quick adaptability ensures seamless collaboration and problem-solving. 🤝 The Unsung Heroes: The mridangam artist might not take center stage but is critical in holding everything together. Businesses must recognize and value those who work behind the scenes, as their contributions are pivotal to success. In both Carnatic music and business, success lies in synchrony—different parts coming together to create something truly extraordinary. The magic happens when there is clarity in leadership, respect for roles, and an openness to evolve together. What other lessons do you think businesses can learn from art forms like Carnatic music? Let’s discuss! Ps: true of any other genre of music & art form ! #ManagementLessons #LeadershipInsights #CarnaticMusic #BusinessStrategy #Teamwork #Collaboration #InnovationAndTradition #Adaptability #WorkplaceHarmony #LeadershipInspiration #CulturalLessons #BusinessLeadership #SynchronyInBusiness #ArtAndManagement

What does the music industry in Nashville have to do with a culture of safety and excellence? Everything. When you listen to the latest chart topper, you hear the artist(s). What you don't hear is the dozens of supporting cast members, from background vocalists to engineers to caterers who make the song happen. But without them, there is no song. Such is true when building a culture of safety and operational excellence. (...and the catering here was first rate. Just saying. ) #SafetyCulture #Betterbysafetyculture #foodsafety #onoleigh @SafetyCulturehq

Art for Art sake - money for God’s sake I, in a past life, was a music festival caterer selling wood- fired pizza - in deed my daughter Caitlin still owns and run a much smaller version of that business At one of these festivals I was privileged to meet 10CC who told me their parents, when they were just starting out in the music business were most upset about their choice of profession quoting the above phrase Fortunately they were not put off by this “sensible” advice and of course the above phrase became the title of one of their many hits. 10CC found a way of making money from their art Repurposing and converting old, redundant buildings is a mix of both art and the making of money. If you can do that, mix your passion with your business - well it’s just a lot more enjoyable experience and I think retaining Society’s street scape and history adds to everybody’s pleasure and as you have to work with the building, results in unique dwellings and holiday spaces which is a breath of fresh air in a modern standardised world Of course that is me, others are only interested in square footage , but I do think “ beauty, volume and history” has a value of its own and fortunately I am not alone in so thinking #propertydevelopment #selfcateringholiday #shorttermlet #housingemergency #propertyinvestment #citybreak

From sold-out concert halls to earning only $30 in a subway station - this is the cost of wrong positioning. Ever heard of the Joshua Bell experiment? 🎻 A world-renowned violinist who was selling out concert halls with tickets selling for hundreds of dollars, disguised himself to play classical music in a Washington D.C. subway station during rush hour. Bell performed for 45 minutes and his total earnings were… $30 😰. How could it be?! No one around had a spare moment to stop and appreciate the talent? Nope, interviews showed that people simply didn't find the music special enough. A world-class talent was sabotaged by his context. But how? This "blindness" was not intentional nor was it a lack of ability to appreciate beauty. In a world oversaturated with external stimuli, focus is a scarce asset. We ration it with care, heavily relying on context to help us decide what's worth paying attention to and what can be simply ignored. The commuters, on a mission to ration their attention span, were totally unprepared to stumble upon such talent in the subway station on a busy weekday morning. Joshua Bell's miserable earnings that day spoke for themselves… You can have a world-class product, but if your context is wrong, all the efforts to promote it could be in vain. 🛑 Positioning is the essential part of your marketing efforts that can make or break your business. It's like a layer that you create around the product which the outside world uses for cues and evaluation. Your job as an entrepreneur is to help potential customers understand what you are offering, how it compares to what already exists on the market and finally—why would they care about it? 🌟 What helped you find the right positioning? #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #positioning #productpromotion #productstrategy #thebreadbureau

We talked to Steph at The Surly Wench to find out everything you need to know about booking a show with them, and here's what we learned: What is the best way to get in contact with you about booking? Surlywenchpub@yahoo.com Do you require a link to music the performer/band makes? Yes please Do you require a media package? No media package required Should a performer/band reach out to you directly, or do you prefer managers to contact you? I prefer to work with the performers What can performers/bands expect in terms of payment? Bands split a door cover How far out should performers/bands reach out about booking? At least 1 month Are performers required to fill the rest of the bill? I prefer this. We like to keep it at 3 bands total. 2 is fine, just no more than 3 Are performers directly required to sell tickets ahead of time? No Is there anything else folks should know about the process? Anything we missed? Performers must be 21+ including any friends or merch people.
