DAMN, CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK'S
KINDA HEAVY

SoundExchange CEO Michael Huppe will deliver a keynote address at the virtual Canadian Music Week conference on 5/21, and will take as his theme “The Future of Music: The Challenges of the Next Five Years.” That period, Huppe insists, will be “pivotal,” as the continued growth of streaming increases the need for a revised business model that fairly compensates all participants in the value chain. Huppe has what he believes is a roadmap for a healthier global business going into the next decade; find out more about the event here. His speech is scheduled for 9:45am ET.

The virtual conference will also feature presentations by such luminaries as Island founder Chris Blackwell, Warner Chappell’s Carianne Marshall and Ryan Press, Hipgnosis chief Merck Mercuriadis, Primary Wave ruler Larry Mestel, producer/creators Nile Rodgers, Timbaland and Dallas Austin, Music Biz chief Portia Sabin and many more.
