In an opinion piece published in Musis Business Worldwide, WIN CEO Noemí Planas looks back at the evolution of the independent music sector and outlines the core values that unite our community today. She highlights the independents’ continued commitment to a more transparent, ethical and sustainable marketplace in an industry marked by mergers and acquisitions, where they stand as guardians of diversity and creativity.
Twelve years ago, WIN published the 10 values that encapsulate the collective position of the global independent recorded music sector. Updated to reflect the changes in the landscape, I am heartened by the fact that these Global Independent Values not only mirror the ethos of my organization but resonate deeply with my own convictions.
