This project examines music creators’ earnings in the streaming age, an issue that is currently under increasing scrutiny from a wide range of perspectives.
Deputy General Secretary Naomi Pohl commented on the important of the survey:
"The MU is on the steering board for this important research project examining creators' earnings in the streaming era. The research project is backed by the IPO and will take an independent look at music industry data, as well as canvassing opinions of industry representatives and creators themselves on the part streaming plays in their careers.
“We hope our members will take the time to fill out this survey, making an important contribution to the study and we look forward to seeing the results".
