Beats & Bytes: I want my Tidal TV

This weekend the world woke up to two internet-shattering video releases. Proving that the music video is back and more relevant than ever.

Beats & Bytes: Song of the Summer

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! You know summer is here because this weekend is the People’s choice, Governor’s Ball and the always legendary Summer Jam here in NY.

Beats & Bytes: Apple Music is helping, not hurting Spotify

Greetings from Havana, Cuba, where I am on a week long cultural exploration. It’s clear that the business landscape is rapidly changing.

Beats & Bytes: $8M in one day for Drake + Apple Music

Greetings from Havana, Cuba, where I am on a week long cultural exploration.

When music is playing at home people become physically closer, less irritable, more inspired, increase positive feelings, are more physically active. Music makes activities more enjoyable, even food tastes better. These aren’t just how I feel, these facts come […]

Beats & Bytes: The Art Of The Playlist

It’s impossible to see all of the content. With the change IG is hoping to stop the dilution of content and increase engagement. However the roll out […]
