Warner Music Singapore shaping the music industry - Streaming Growth, Concert Boom, TikTok & more

It’s all about music and concerts today. With a legacy that spans over 200 years, Warner Music Group, brings together songwriters, artists and entrepreneurs that are moving entertainment culture across the world. The firm has a recorded music division that operates in over 70 countries via a network of affiliate and licensees. It includes a number of renowned labels including 300 Entertainment and Atlantic, and manages some of the biggest A-listers in the world of music including Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran. Aside from managing singers and bands and distributing music, the firm also has a music publishing arm called Warner Chappell Music where it holds over one million copyrights of songs across genres. But how exactly does an entertainment company like Warner Music Group operate? What is the difference between the operations of the published and recorded music departments? What strategic value does the artists and repertoire (or A&R) department, which is responsible for scouting recording artists and nurturing them, bring to the table for Warner Music Group? Also – the Group recently reported improved streaming driven by a stronger release slate, but what is the situation here in Singapore? How does the recent concert boom mean for music distribution? On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Gerald Ang, Managing Director, Warner Music Singapore.
