The ADE team is pleased to be able to reveal that Merlin CEO Charles Caldas who appears on Billboard's 2014 Power List, will be take part in the first part of the one-on-one interview series, The Future Is Here Already at ADE's conference.
Caldas will be covering topics such as the future of streaming, transactional transparency, how apps can be leveraged by artists and labels, and how Merlin acts to ensure its members have effective access to new and emerging revenue streams and that their rights are appropriately valued and protected. Merlin is a global rights agency representing the world’s most important independent music companies. These members embody over 20,000 independent record labels and distributors, representing some of the world’s most important independent artists, and command around a 10% share of the global and US music market.
In February 2013, Merlin was named among the world’s 10 most innovative companies in music by Fast Company magazine. In March 2013, Charles was recipient of IMPALA’s annual outstanding contribution award, which recognizes the unrivalled efforts of an individual or organization to promote and develop European independent music and the sector’s diversity.
