Sound Exchange

$1 Billion Paid

SoundExchange just made a major announcement at New Music Seminar. President Michael Huppe just shared with the crowd that the organization has reached a major milestone for the music industry – distributing $1 billion dollars in digital royalties to recording artists and record labels. This is further proof of the explosive growth of the digital music space. The team at SoundExchange has put together a video, ‘Behind the Check,’ to give a quick look into some of the staff that made this milestone achievement possible. Check out our video here !

Board Member Profile: Q&A: Dick Huey

SoundByte recently connected with SoundExchange board member and Toolshed CEO Dick Huey. Dick started Toolshed in 2001 and grew the business into one of the oldest and most respected digital marketing agencies in the U.S. Throughout the years, he’s consulted with such influential independent record labels as the Beggars Group, Merge Records, and Kill Rock Stars, along with some of the industry’s most prominent digital music services. In his promotional work, Dick has been associated with musical luminaries Ani DiFranco, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, and hundreds of others. Needless to say, we were thrilled to get Dick on the record about SoundExchange, the future of the music industry and his secret formula for a successful and meaningful career in the business.
