David Vodicka; Legal Eagle

And she means business! In this week's episode we discuss not only the many challenges that we all face as an industry, but also the reasons we need to stay focused and excited for the future growth of Australian music and the many artists that are flying the flag.

Karl Richter; Off The Richter
Karl Richter is somewhat of a chameleon in the Music Industry. Not only has he been able to successfully pivot from A&R to Music Supervision, but he now is also a major player in the Music Tech space. In this enlightening new episode of Vinyl Tap, we go back to Karl's early community radio days and his entry into the music industry per se. Starting as an A&R manager at MDS, Mushroom's Indie distribution arm in the early 90's, we chart Karl's professional evolution from music executive to becoming one of the most important, if not disruptive forces in the Music Licensing world with the 'happy accident' we now know as Level Two Music. And now as the Founder of the highly impressive DISCO platform, a B2B file sharing technology, that has taken the industry by storm there is no stopping Karl as he continues to pave his own path to the intersection of music, technology and the screen. Underpinning all of this is Karl's ultimate A&R philosophy - building creative business' and people that can and that are challenging the norm on a global level. Hosted on Acast.
