The music business has changed dramatically over the past decade, especially in the independent sector.
We sit down with Flexpoint Ford's Managing Director, Mike Morris, to discuss why independent music has become such an attractive investment opportunity, how fragmentation creates value, and how investors weigh catalog ownership against infrastructure, services, and technology.
We also explore what makes a music investment durable in an increasingly competitive market.
