This month, Merlin marked the completion of another successful year of Merlin Engage, its flagship mentorship initiative created to champion, celebrate, and connect female leaders across Merlin’s global independent music community.
IMPALA’s Strategic Primers’ project with Music Ally (supported by Merlin) is all about maximising streaming opportunities for independents. Our Primer #11 on D2F & community platforms is now out. Join us on 29th October for a Q&A session with Music Ally.
IMPALA expanded its network and honoured the late Patrick Zelnik at its annual meeting last week in Dublin where it also held the second edition of its European Independent Music Summit.
As part of IMPALA’s Faces of the Independent Sector storytelling series, co-funded by the European Union, and celebrating our 25th anniversary, we are sharing the ninth interview in the series with Mariana Voronina, CEO and co-owner of Best Music, a member of the Ukrainian Music Companies Association SPILNA.
IMPALA is the European organisation for independent music companies and national associations. The sector is made up of micro, small, medium businesses and self-releasing artists. They are world leaders in terms of innovation and discovering new music and artists. Independents account for more than 80% of all new releases in Europe and 80% of the sector’s jobs. More info…
