At the World Economic Forum, a powerful and timely panel discussion brought together some of the most influential voices in music to address a pressing issue: the future of artist compensation in the streaming era. Hosted at Abraham House, the conversation—“The Power of Music to Drive Change Around the World — Stopping the Exploitation of Artists”—featured Wendy Starland (who discovered and developed Lady Gaga), Benny Pough (former President of Roc Nation), and Joaquín Cortés (renowned flamenco dancer and campaigner for human fraternity). The session was moderated by Nicole Enslein, Founder and CEO of Sublime Communications.
The panel explored how music can serve as a catalyst for social impact, while also highlighting the economic and technological disruptions reshaping the industry. A recurring theme was the urgent need to stop the exploitation of artists and to create business models that ensure fair compensation and long-term sustainability.
The session highlighted music’s potential to inspire and connect people globally, while also pointing to the roles industry leaders, platforms, and policymakers could play in shaping a more equitable future for artists.
