Hold music: The difference between wanting to pull your hair out or the time passing quicker than a snail's pace while you wait for someone to pick up the phone. We're running the 'Provider Hold Music Awards' as a bit of summer fun. But we can't do this without the opinions of the St. James’s Place community! So we need you to place your vote with this 60-second form: https://bit.ly/3pbNVgM We love it when you leave a comment about why you love or hate a certain provider's music - here are our favourite responses so far. #financialadvisers #paraplanners #financialplanning #wealthmanagement #SJP

The first part of Q2 already explains Q1. There is no need to add the second part just to sound more artistic and less materialistic. Q1: "They ended the year with 44.12 million paid subscribers, a 15.3% year-on-year growth from the end of 2022...Their overall revenue from music services grew by 17.6% to RMB 4.4 billion – roughly $621.1 million." Q2: "NetEase put it down to 'monetization momentum from our core online music business and our optimized operating efficiency and cost structure.' They add: 'We continually engage our community to have more music-inspired connections and strengthen the bonds within our community.'" https://lnkd.in/gwRvfMf2

If you missed the chat with Joshua Christie , wow it was something. I’m glad their are people not afraid to call out the advertising and sync industries on some of their predatory practices. This discussion was everything Replay here https://lnkd.in/g_PtB8xt #synclicensing #musicbusiness #musicindustry #musicproduction #songwriting #indieartists #advertising

It's great to see these discussions taking place. Many say 'we couldn't possibly', very quickly forgetting the 'Eat out to help out' VAT scheme for restaurants during Covid. Unfortunately, we are stuck with a flaccid, lazy Government and one real solution is to get rid of them and have the discussion with the incoming replacements... if only we had that option. The margin between loss, break-even and profit can be as simple as 2 additional ticket sales who also buy a couple of drinks but every little bit of help will make a massive difference. We built Studio Se7en based on a business plan from data gathered between 2019 and 2022 and since then Quantitative Tightening and the costs of living crisis has meant that everyone has much less disposable income. This is a massive factor which isn't getting mentioned in the press. Massive corporations and financial institutions are syphoning money out of the system. The rich are getting Richer and the poverty line is rising for many.

The easier it becomes to produce music, the harder it becomes to make a living creating music. 😑 With the rise of digital audio workstations and other music software, it has become easier than ever for anyone to create and distribute their music. While this democratization of music production is a positive development in many ways, it has also led to a crowded market where it can be difficult for new artists to gain a foothold and build an audience. So what can we do? Easy, connect, chat, and support your favorite up-and-coming artists on QP. Boom! Problem solved. If you are a musician, if no one else can help, and if you can find John Moran....maybe we can help. #socialaccess #supportartists #musicians #gettingpaid #creatoreconomy #musicproduction

Crafting music for success in the commercial realm, especially for TV or film, is about delivering a product that serves a specific purpose. It's not merely about personal artistry or creativity; it's about making your music serviceable, relevant, and emotionally impactful for a potential client. Whether it's for: ✅ Enhancing a scene's emotional tone ✅ Intensifying a conversation ✅ Enticing a purchase Your track should induce a significant emotional response. If your music ticks these boxes, you increase your chances of securing placements, sync fees, potential royalties, and getting the placement you desire.

Students frequently ask me how I know so many details about the history of the concert music business. (I'm teaching at the Frost School of Music UM this semester in the Live Entertainment Master's program the very extensive course, Concert Tour Management.) Well I have to admit, I am currently re-reading Ticket Masters - The Rise of The Concert Industry and How The Public Got Scalped. This is a book for music business people to geek-out on. If you are a music business nerd, as I sometimes am, this is one of the few books I revisit from time to time and always gain new perspective as to how the concert business has arrived to where we are today. Although the book is not a light read by the beach, it is an in-depth look at the key players, the artists, the promoters, and the opportunists that have shaped the live music business world in which music fans live. #musicbusiness ~ Comment please. Especially if you have read it.
