Donna Close, Senior Research Fellow, Arts DRIVA Principal Investigator said: “Music and Performing Arts are an important part of the creative industries which generate more than £1.2 billion in GVA in the Coast to Capital area.

“The music industry is also the epitome of successful fusion of creative, technical and business skills. The future of the music industry relies on understanding how to understand and work with data and digital technologies.

“This is a brilliant opportunity for music businesses to find out more about what data is and how to make it work for them to innovate and flourish”.

Sam Taylor, Commercial Manager of CMU said: “All music businesses need to understand data. Whether it’s data from streaming to get insights into how fans are listening to your music; geographical data to understand where your fans are; rights and usage data to ensure the right people get paid; or device data to understand how people are consuming marketing content, all music businesses are in the data business.

“We’re excited to be working with DRIVA arts DRIVA to show music businesses that data is nothing to be scared of”.
