Three Keys to 21st Century Rights Management Success
Working in the music industry isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s the only place I’ve ever wanted to be. I started out playing drums in a ska band, and over time I changed my focus to helping artists and songwriters get paid fairly for their music and work. After eighteen years at HFA including more than six years at the helm, I love solving problems that result in creators and their partners getting paid through new and exciting music distribution models.
Managing the growth of data and services required to help our publishers, artists, and songwriters get paid accurately, efficiently and completely has been an exciting challenge for me and my team. The velocity of industry change coupled with ever-increasing volumes of new music flourishing in the market has made for a time of exponential growth at HFA.
With the MMA licensing evolution in the forefront, it’s clearer than ever where we stand and what we believe are the touchstones at HFA as we all transition to the next stage of mechanical rights management.
