In this episode, I’m going to make some predictions for 2023 in both the music business and the audio industry. These are based on trends that have happened this year that give us some insight on what may be in store for us in the coming year. These include:




What happens with TikTok and social media



The "Lipstick Effect" and how it plays out with streaming



Changes coming to Spotify next year



How song forms will change



Fake artists on streaming services



Changes coming in sync licensing



The end of music genres



The new power brokers in the music business



Audio company acquisitions



AR and VR music



Copyright laws and how they affect AI



Immersive audio outlook for 2023



AI plugins and how they affect bedroom producers




And more.



Thank you for your support through the years! We have a lot of great guests lined up for 2023, and I hope to continue to earn your listenership. I know there are a lot of other things you can be doing other than listening to this podcast, so just know that I never take that for granted.
