Thank you to the Music APPG, chaired by Kevin Brennan MP for their report on artificial intelligence and music. I was pleased to talk to BBC World Service about it this morning. There is a serious threat to musicians and the industry we need regulation. musiciansunion.org.uk/news/mu-respon…

The government needs to act now! 📢

The rapid development of AI-generated music is concerning not only for songwriters and composers but also for consumers. 🎧

Next week is a great week to start at The Ivors Academy and I am looking forward to being present at the government convened Creator Remuneration Working Group.

Many successful musicians, actors, writers and artists are struggling to make a living due to gaps in copyright law, a lack of support for freelancers and unpredictable streaming revenue.

We're calling on the Government to ensure creators are properly rewarded for their work 👇

Great work Iain Archer⁩ - brilliant listen. The magic and genius of ABBA’s songwriting - get it in your ears! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

I’ll be presenting ABBA: Inside The Music on Radio 4 at 8pm tonight. Slightly different gig to my regular one, but no less enjoyable. Deep dive on songwriting and creative process of the group. Thanks to Simon Hollis (producer) and all contributors. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

From Times Square to Leicester Square to Nashville, Amazon Music is lighting up the world for songwriters! 🌍
