How Will Music Be Monetized in 2030?

What will the music business actually look like in 2030?  In this special panel from the Grow the TAM summit, Tatiana Cirisano, VP of Music Strategy at MIDiA Research, leads a wide-ranging conversation about the future of music monetization with three industry veterans: Liz Moody, partner and chair of the new media practice at Granderson Des Rochers; Mauhan Zonoozy, founder of Vinyl Bar in Shibuya and former head of innovation at Spotify; and Ty Roberts, CEO of FanTracks and founder of Gracenote. The panel covers AI licensing and generative music platforms, why one panelist argues artists should be negotiating for equity in AI companies rather than royalties, the rise of direct fan subscription platforms, music's untapped opportunity in gaming and interactive experiences, the vinyl revival and whether physical media nostalgia is a real market or a performative trend, and the future of virtual artist concerts and digital fan engagement. If you work in music tech, music publishing, artist management, streaming, or the creator economy, this conversation is essential listening for anyone trying to understand where music revenue is heading next.   The news Suno's latest legal opponent fought the tobacco industry – and won a quarter of a trillion dollars The Atlantic created a searchable database of the music used to train AI Luminate data: US market diversifying away from domestic and Anglophone music Patreon CEO Jack Conte on supporting artists in the AI slop era Suno Launches Artist Incubator, Offering Grants and Marketing for Indie Talents   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.
