Will Page on streaming pricing, music's revenue 'pie' – and why the global record industry is more local than ever

Welcome to the Music Business Worldwide podcast supported
by Voly Music.

On this podcast, one of the industry's sharpest minds, Will Page,
joins MBW founder Tim Ingham to cover a range of topics including
pricing, streaming, royalties – and why the global industry is
more local than ever.


Page is the ex-Chief Economist of both Spotify and UK
collection society PRS For Music. 

These days he’s a consultant and the author of the book Tarzan
Economics (aka Pivot), which presents compelling principles for
business owners facing uncertain and disruptive times.


Will is also the co-author of a new paper published by the
London School of Economics and Political Science that focuses on
what he calls ‘Glocalisation’ of music. In other words, music has
never been more global as an industry, yet when you dig into the
most popular tracks in individual markets, they have a decidedly
local feel.
