Shania Twain Calls for an 'All-Inclusive Country Music' as She Accepts Equal Play Award at 2023 CMT Awards https://buff.ly/3UOmjeB #ShaniaTwain made a powerful statement at the 2023 #CMT Awards when she called for a more inclusive country music industry. During her acceptance speech for the #EqualPlayAward, Twain emphasized the importance of embracing diversity and ensuring that all voices are heard and represented in the genre. This is a crucial step towards creating a more welcoming and diverse community within country music. Twain's advocacy for inclusivity comes at a time when the music industry is facing increasing scrutiny for its lack of diversity and representation. By championing the idea of an 'All-Inclusive Country Music,' Twain is pushing for a more equitable and open-minded approach to the genre. This not only benefits artists from underrepresented groups but also enriches the cultural landscape of country music as a whole. The significance of Twain's words cannot be understated. In an industry that has historically been dominated by a narrow range of voices, her call for #inclusivity serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring artists who have long been marginalized. By shining a light on the need for change, Twain is igniting a conversation that has the potential to reshape the future of country music for the better. As we move forward, it is essential for the #music industry to heed Twain's message and take proactive steps towards creating a more #inclusive and #diverse environment. This means providing # equalopportunities for artists of all backgrounds, amplifying diverse voices, and breaking down barriers that have long hindered progress. Only by working together can we truly achieve an 'All-Inclusive # CountryMusic' that celebrates the richness and # diversity of the genre.

Nearly 40 prominent music sector organisations and individuals are championing the inclusion of 'voice' as an eligible instrument for Orchestra Tax Relief (OTR) to provide equitable support for choirs.   Since its inception in 2016, OTR has catalysed the productivity of orchestras and unamplified music groups, enhancing their ability to create, engage professionals, and enrich live music experiences. The Government recently recognised the importance of this tax relief and its impact on the music industry by announcing a permanent higher rate of 45%.    However, the current exclusion of choirs from this support framework impedes the growth of a sector.   Research indicates that tax relief correlates with amplified programming, increased professional engagement, broader community outreach, and enhanced economic activity in the night-time sector.   In light of these findings, the sector advocates extending OTR to encompass 'voice,' aligning tax policies with the diverse needs and contributions of the music community.

Distributing and promoting your music can be straightforward with proper guidance. While focusing on your music is crucial, it's also important for artists to understand the entire process and be capable of implementing some distribution methods to promote their music independently 🎙️ In my four years of experience, I've interacted with many artists who have had diverse experiences, both positive and negative, with their releases. Through detailed conversations, a recurring comment has been, "I wasn't aware of all this." This emphasizes the vital role of transparency 👀 When artists are well-informed, they become more attentive and engaged, gaining confidence in knowing they are in reliable hands. This allows them to focus solely on creating music, while relying on a distribution platform that efficiently manages their operational music needs 🎶 If you're gearing up to release your music and need expert guidance on any music business queries, message me 📲 #musicindustry #musicpromotions #music #musicdistribution #independentartists #musicmarketing #networking #musicians

Aslice's closure is a sobering wake-up call for electronic music. ⁠ ⁠ After nearly three years, the revenue-sharing platform, founded by DVS1, is shutting down. The model was simple: DJs pledge a small percentage of their fees to the artists whose music they play—an attempt to recalibrate a broken ecosystem where producers scramble for nominal streaming royalties while touring DJs earn large figures for spinning the same tunes. ⁠ ⁠ “Aslice didn’t fail. The famous, most followed DJs failed us all,” said techno legend and Aslice user Richie Hawtin. ⁠ ⁠ An independent report suggested that if only 40 more DJs “at the level of the current top ten users” had signed up, Aslice could have continued. Just one superstar DJ would’ve had the same effect. In our latest Opinion piece, we argue that performative, low-stakes activism is what’s really failing dance music.⁠ ⁠ Read the full piece via https://lnkd.in/g9GkRcBz

Such an important topic of discussion with Gee Davy in Music Week 'on what UK artists and labels need to thrive amid increasing global competition' “British music is globally respected but the financial squeeze on UK-based labels and artists, particularly at the smaller end of the market, which cannot rely on corporate reserves or economies of scale, means less budget available for marketing, export or touring. Coupled with a reduction in real terms government funding for some of these activities over time, this means that it has become harder than ever for the UK to compete with other net music exporting nations.” ''There are plenty of UK artists being developed but breaking through is harder than ever. With the independent music business reportedly releasing 80% of new music, despite only 31.5% market share, there is a clear need for support for the independent sector to ensure British music can regain its top chart spots.” “The unique cultural makeup across the UK creates the perfect conditions for great music-making. Music and musicians speak to people’s lives and are important for the nation’s well-being and success and recognition. Homegrown talent and those who support their careers must get the attention they need to find and drive revenues back into the UK’s music economy – to fund investment in diverse future generations of great British music.” https://lnkd.in/ebcWKE3t

In today’s world, music has evolved from a mere source of entertainment into a well-established business. The modern music industry is shaped by labels, associations, royalties, and distribution, with people far more aware of these terms compared to earlier times. In a recent interview, the Board of Directors of ISAMRA (Indian Singers and Musicians Rights Association), including Chairman Anup Jalota, renowned ghazal maestro Talat Aziz, and singer-turned-CA Sanjay Tandon, shed light on the workings of their association and the significance of royalties. The journey of music royalties from the shadows of unfair practices to a more transparent and equitable system reflects the evolving nature of the music industry. Legal battles like those fought by Javed Akhtar, along with the advocacy efforts of organizations like ISAMRA and the influential roles of Anup Jalota, Talat Aziz, and Sanjay Tandon, have been pivotal in this transformation.

UK Music's Chief Executive Tom Kiehl speaking on the importance of grassroots venues, rehearsal spaces and studios to the music industry's talent pipeline, and how we need more music teachers to ensure that all children have access to a music education. "Last year, music tourism spending increased by 21%, generating a total of 8 billion across local economies, a fantastic achievement. "It's worth remembering, however, that there wouldn't be any music without music creators. "Singers, songwriters, musicians, producers, sound technicians, and everyone else in our industry needs to learn their craft and hone their skills. "The opportunities for many artists are becoming increasingly squeezed with continued problems for music venues, studios and rehearsal spaces, and we need an army of new music teachers to help nurture our talent pipeline on which the music industry relies."
