The Latin Recording Academy® invited Ramón Arias to moderate its “Publishers & Songwriters” workshop/panel on June 17th as part of the ¡Mira Qué Lindas! exhibit held in Miami.

Pictured from left to right: Donato Poveda (singer-songwriter / producer), Elsten Torres (singer-songwriter / producer), Jorge Mejía (SVP | Latin America & US Latin — Sony/ATV Music Publishing), Marc Stollman (Stollman Law, PA) and Ramón Arias (Panel Moderator o/b/o UnusualManagement).

The panel covered a wide range of topics, including the following:

• Indie vs. Major
• Deal Structures
• Definition of the “record label” in relation to its “sister publisher” and/or third party publishers
• Income sources (present/future)
• The Digital Realm (present/future models and impact on copyright valuation)
• Trends

Our many thanks go to our dear friend Gabriel Abaroa and the rest of The Latin Recording Academy’s staff for their continuous support.
