Music Industry Moves: FKA Twigs Inks Global Publishing Deal With Kobalt
Hitmaker Ross Golan (Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez) has joined the board of the Songwriters of North America advocacy organization.
Golan (pictured above, far right, with SONA CEO Michelle Lewis and hitmaker Rodney Jerkins), has scored hits with Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and many others (and the writer of the Ovation Award-winning musical “The Wong Man”). He also played a key role in the overturning of the Grammys “33% Rule,” which determined how many of an album’s contributors received awards. Songwriters have been at the bottom of the streaming economy from its inception — usually receiving a small percentage of the approximately $.003 that each stream generates — and although several proposals have been made to improve their compensation, including points on master recordings (which producers usually receive) and per diems for writing sessions, those proposals are rarely fulfilled.
