REWIRING INDIE REVENUE STREAMS: Owned, Direct And Thriving

The economics of independence have never looked better if you know where to look. 

A new generation of Music tech innovators worldwide is putting genuine power back in the hands of independent artists to help them break free from the “pro rata” streaming matrix with direct-to-fan models that make the relationship between artist and audience a financial reality, tools that turn a loyal community into a sustainable income, and alternatives to the pro-rata streaming pool that reward depth of connection over volume of streams. 

This session maps the most exciting innovations already in artists' hands, previews what is coming next, and gives independent musicians and their teams a practical framework for building a revenue architecture that reflects the true value of what they create on their own terms, with their fans at the center.
