The 68th Annual Grammy Awards with my son, Ryan. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees!

If music drives your business, artists deserve to be paid. Gene Simmons lays out exactly why the American Music Fairness Act is necessary and why radio can’t keep operating under outdated rules while the rest of the industry evolves.

I am honored to be listed on the 2026 @Billboard Power 100 List alongside a wide range of inspirational leaders shaping the future of our industry. It’s a privilege to champion creators and help build a stronger, more equitable future for music.

Last week, I had the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with Julia Montero, Founder & Director of Creative Counsel Law, at Music Ally Connect to discuss SoundExchange and more. Thank you, Julia, for hosting a wonderful discussion, and thank you, Music Ally, for having me.

We are proud to support the #StealingIsntInnovation campaign and advocate for AI development that values human artistry, protects intellectual property, and ensures creators are treated fairly.

I am excited to share that I will be speaking at Music Ally Connect 2026 on January 22 in London to discuss the future of streaming in the music industry. To learn more and attend, visit  https://t.co/FDQ4ZZOJHd

At the end of each year, SoundExchange digs through the data to understand which tracks received the most streams and which new artists are starting to breakout. It’s obvious that this year brought some great music to the forefront, and we know that 2026 will bring even more.

SoundExchange is proud to partner with Produce Panama to expand royalty collection internationally. Together, we’ll make sure artists from Panama and beyond receive the royalties they deserve when their music is enjoyed internationally.

This year, @alexwaarren's authentic storytelling fueled a rise that has been nothing short of extraordinary. We are proud to celebrate an artist whose journey from adversity to achievement inspires not only fans but the entire creative community.

Nate Bargatze has an extraordinary gift for turning life’s simplest moments into unforgettable comedy with a delivery that feels effortless and genuine. We are proud to honor @natebargatze with the SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award.

Gene Simmons said it best in his @washingtonpost op-ed: It's time for radio to pay artists for the music that keeps their stations alive. SoundExchange is proud to stand with Gene and creators everywhere as we head to the Senate next week. https://t.co/eBzhdtujx2

I’m pleased for the opportunity to testify before the Senate next week with Gene Simmons. It’s outrageous that in 2025, artists are still are not paid fairly for the work they do. I hope that the Senate will remedy this inequity and act swiftly to pass this important legislation.

"Stick Season" is typical of the captivating, soul-bearing cuts that has helped this evocative storyteller win over a legion of fans in relatively short order, and deservedly so. We are proud to present Noah Kahan with a SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award for "Stick Season."

We are proud to partner with ISAMRA and the AFM & SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund to protect creators' rights and royalties when their music is played in India and the U.S. We look forward to continuing to fight for all creators around the globe.
