Ed Pak
Head of Business Development, Hook
Ed Pak has over 10 years of experience in the music industry. He was hired as the first in-house lawyer at Saavn, which in 2018 he helped sell to Reliance Jio at over a $1.5 billion valuation – becoming JioSaavn, today’s largest DSP in India. Ed later joined Hook to lead business development and partnerships, where his experience as a music lawyer has been instrumental in his ability to help create more revenue earning opportunities for artists and songwriters in a time where how people consume and engage with music is shifting with the advent of increasing musical self-expression, UGC and emerging technologies.
Innovation in Artist/Songwriter Revenue Streams
10/15/24, 7:00 PM
This panel will explore the next phase of music consumption and revenue generation. It will discuss options beyond the all-you-can-stream buffet model and examine new platforms where prices are elastic to demand rather than fixed. From artist-set pricing and super-fan extras to UGC remixes, discover how these innovations could reshape music distribution dynamics and rights holder payments, while fostering deeper artist-fan connections.
