Watch: Jaxsta’s Jacqui Louez Schoorl on tech’s big push to pivot

Are music tech platforms ‘rising to the occasion’ during the coronavirus pandemic? What is it really like running a publically listed company, in an affected sector, during COVID? And why are so many artists still not collecting their neighbouring rights?

All these questions and more are explored in the third TMN Tech Week video featuring Jaxsta’s Jacqui Louez Schoorl and publisher of The Music Network, Jake Challenor.

Tech Week is The Music Network’s annual content series dedicated to the thriving global music-tech sector, and for the first time will feature a daily livestream interview with key players.

The video series, premiered daily on Facebook, will include talks with local founders Josh Simons (Vampr), Jared Kristensen (Audience Republic) and Jeremiah Siemianow (Muso).

Each interview will reveal how these platforms have innovated and diversified during the pandemic, and explore how the founders view tech’s role in supporting the industry.

Tech Week is presented in partnership with 7digital, whose APAC boss James Priestley joined TMN editor Vivienne Kelly to discuss the rise of music within popular apps like TikTok.

Tech Week will also feature major milestone updates from Nightlife, Vampr and Play MPE.
