[...] Ian Rogers’ delivered the keynote speech at the GRAMMY Northwest MusicTech Summit Keynote in early November. As you spend the next two days discussing the future of the music business, I’d like to challenge you to consider a different perspective, IMHO the only perspectives that matter, that of the artist and the fan. I see news about the health of the music industry as defined by the stock price of WMG or quarterly earnings of UMG, Sony, and EMI every day. What I don’t see, apart from a few articles on Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, is an update on how the world is changing from the artist point of view. But I tell you, when I talk to managers and artists they feel it, they feel an ability to take their careers into their own hands, to redefine what success means for them, and that is the emergence of the new music business.

Thanks to TechCrunch for the shoutout to Topspin! You will all be learning much more about the company in the future–it’s REALLY exciting and innovative stuff. One correction though (a mistake Billboard made as well): it’s spelled Topspin not TopSpin.

I know this is mostly about music but, isn’t Deviant Art.com the same thing? I’m sure there is room for everybody though, but I wonder about Topspin and how it plans on being different yet serving the same population of people (artists).

Although its difficult to understand what Topspin is exactly (why are they so cryptic about it?), it sounds like a ReverbNation clone to me. Higher profile founder for sure. But lots of catching up to do (I think RN has something like 200,000 artists already using their marketing platform). Competition in this space will only do good things for indie Artists and labels (I’m a little bit of both), so its nice to see another company getting in the mix. Hopefully it won’t be too long before they let us little guys try it out….. hint hint.

Good Picture! Sounds like something interesting in being cooked at Topspin. Love to see more people evangelize this segment, specifically people like Ian.

I’m very curious what the marketing technology is, since his examples where all distribution related.

Ian’s a complete class act and you’ll be hard pressed to find someone more passionate about music or musicians. I wish him the best.
