The independent Blues Awards celebrate the diversity and power of the music that is created by those artists that acknowledge their inspiration and roots are in the blues. These awards will represent not only those “touring” artists who work within the established blues community, but embrace working artists who work in other markets but still acknowledge and honor their roots in the blues. |

Are Record Companies Buying Artist Catalogs to use in Future AI Projects? |
|
Record companies can see the writing on the wall, we may be looking at a decentralized music industry rendering the traditional record company extinct. In response they are changing their business model by increasingly buying up artist catalogs, besides the ability to control royalty and licensing revenue they are looking to position themselves in the evolving landscape of AI-driven music generation. While this has been a practice in the industry for some time, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the music industry has added another layer to this trend. It is curious that some of the language of these purchase contracts now include the language that include not on the royalty and licensing of a particular sound recording but also include the “likeness, sound and any derived sound and likeness throughout the universe” |
