“Publishers and societies perform an enormously important role at the very heart of the music industry and, of course, without songwriters there would be no music for us all to enjoy in the first place. I’m very much looking forward to building on our existing partnerships with the publisher, songwriter and society communities around the world.”
Steve Savoca, VP Content and Distribution på Spotify, tillägger: “I can think of no one better placed than James to take on this exciting challenge. He has sector expertise, a complete grasp of very complex rights issues, tremendous internal knowledge and a keen sense of empathy for artists. He will thrive in this important new role for Spotify.”
