Andrea Czapary Martin, CEO of PRS for Music, which represents the rights of over 160,000 songwriters, composers, and music publishers in the UK and around the world. The last few years have seen income in the music industry fluctuate wildly due to the impact of coronavirus – and PRS for Music has just released its 2021 results, including how much money it has collected and has paid out to songwriters during that period of disruption. So we spoke to Andrea about those results, and also about the future of music being used in new technology spaces – like, you guessed it – the metaverse.
One quick note about the Ukraine campaign that Andrea mentions – she’d like to make it clear that this is a CISAC initiative that PRS for Music supports – and you can read about – and support – it here: cisac.org/Newsroom/news-releases/cisac-solidarity-fund-ukraine
