Dae Bogan to Join Panel On New Markets & Innovation In The Music Industry at Music Biz 2024
I am looking forward to participating on the panel “10X: How New Markets & Innovation Can Help The Music Industry Grow Tenfold” at this year’s Music Biz in Nashville.
Panel Description: The under monetization of music has become a recurring narrative in today’s industry, with economists, technologists, investors and rightsholders excited about its opportunity for growth. Figures from Goldman Sachs state that by 2030, the music industry will be worth $50.1bn annually, whilst commentators in the creative industries point to music’s peers in videogames (estimated at over $340 billion), TV and film (jointly estimated at over $280 billion) to understand the potential for copyright exploitation. Radical, IP-centric innovation is the answer to closing this gap and fulfilling our potential. The panel will discuss how to propel the industry’s revenues to unprecedented heights, finding new uses for under-exploited copyrights and developing new business models, licensing processes and pricing strategies to present these opportunities to customers. It will also examine the important data engineering groundwork that needs to take place to facilitate this in terms of standards-based, high quality, timely metadata from rightsholders.
Moderated by Chantal Epp, Founder & CEO, ClicknClear
Speakers:
• Dae Bogan, Head of Third-Party Partnerships, The MLC
• Chelsea Johnson, Sr. Director Global Digital Operations, Kobalt
• David Knox, President, Reactional Music

Celebrating 1 Year In Colombia, 4 Years With The MLC, And Announcing Music Biz 2024 Panel
May 1 🎉
Today marks the one year anniversary since I officially moved to Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴(May 1, 2023) and 4 years since I joined The Mechanical Licensing Collective 🎼 as its Head of Third-Party Partnerships (May 1, 2020).

The DURP has had a direct positive impact on the livelihoods of hundreds of independent artists around the world 🌎 by empowering independent music distributors with data transparency and insights into the music publishing sector.
As a result of this work, I am proud to be named a finalist in the Maestro of Metadata category for this years Music Business Association’ Bizzy Awards and I look forward to joining industry colleagues in Nashville in two weeks for the #MusicBiz2024 conference and the Bizzy Awards dinner.

Hello from Medellín, Colombia! 🇨🇴
I am excited to announce that effective May 1st, on the 3-year work anniversary of my role at The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC), I am now based out of Medellín, Colombia.
In my role as Head of Third-Party Partnerships, I will continue to develop and spearhead culture, innovation, and service oriented initiatives and partnerships at The MLC while also expanding our outreach efforts through grassroots approaches and partnerships on the ground in Latin America.
After spending 18 months visiting over 15 countries and exploring local music communities around the world, including seeing the first payee of royalties discovered through The MLC’s DURP (durp.themlc.com) being an independent rapper in Australia, I am excited to begin this next chapter in Latin America.

I’ve already begun conversations with music industry professionals, music creators, and various organizations and companies, but I’m looking forward to additional introductions.
