A&R Worldwide Global Keynote: Jeremy Yohai

The nucleus of the music industry is the song, and the artistic and business acumen of A&R ensures that great songs and artists are developed and well-received by the masses in a powerful and authentic manner, even during these unprecedented times. The global music ecosystem continues to evolve with the rise of new forms of consumption, data/metric analytics, streaming, revenue platforms and more.
