Another major factor at work which I believe will eventually move the throne of the industry elsewhere is the rapid economic development of Africa and its cultural diversity. As technological, economic and physical infrastructure is built in Africa, and as income levels rise, the ability to monetize creative works (make money from them) and offerings tied to music will grow so fast it will make your head spin.

Decision-makers and entrepreneurs will have to have a presence on the ground not just in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles but also cities like Cairo, Egypt; Johannesburg, South Africa; Lagos, Nigeria; Accra, Ghana; Nairobi Kenya; and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The way it seems to me the music industry is changing and the world is getting smaller. The industry has to keep up with the changing times if it wants to last.

With the booming technology of communication, the message that you are trying to convey can and will be delivered in a split seconds, thats a lot of power that we have at our hands.

The people are the voice and they will be heard. That alone scares the major music industry giants.
