Cindy Charles, Twitch ’s head of music and a digital-music veteran, died Monday from injuries she suffered in a car accident in the Netherlands, her husband Ricky Fishman confirms. Among many other accomplishments, Charles played a key role in developing Twitch’s DJ category, which established it as the first platform for DJs to livestream legally (and included licensing deals with all three major labels along with many indie labels represented by Merlin), and earlier this month led the company’s livestream of Charli XCX’s album preview at Storm King in Upstate New York. Her friend and colleague Kira Karlstrom wrote in a Medium post, “Cindy was more than just Twitch’s Head of Music — she was the heart and soul of our team, and a force for good in everything she touched.”
