Brett Cottle

TIO invited APRA AMCOS CEO Dean Ormston to guest on Fear At The Top where he discussed the legacy of his predecessor, Brett Cottle.

Brett Cottle was feted for his work with the Australian and New Zealand music publishing sector, and on behalf of songwriters and composers over many years.

"The music publishing industry was incredibly fortunate to have such a talented and fair-minded leader at APRA AMCOS for so many years."

The appointment marks three years since a female has held a role at this leadership level. Read more on how Jana Gibson will lead the membership team here.

"...you'll understand what a surreal and extraordinary miracle it seems to me."

The health of the Australian music industry was prodded and probed in a session which featured three key players in the music biz. 

"We need someone who has a strong character to stand up to the inevitable buffeting."
