Glazier, Ballantyne Upped At RIAA
“Music matters. It shapes our culture. It inspires generations young and young at heart. It makes us who we are and binds diverse communities together,” said Glazier (left), who recently helped build the unprecedented coalition that mobilized to enact the Music Modernization Act (MMA). “I am honored to lead the RIAA during these exciting times as we fight for a music ecosystem that works for everybody — from artists and fans to labels and publishers and songwriters and music services alike. That will require that we both embrace digital music innovations, and protect what has always made music great — keeping the dream alive for the next generation of artists and music creators.”
Ballantyne (right) remarked, “I’m excited to be part of this new leadership team at such an incredibly dynamic and important time. By staying true to music and its creators even as we embrace change, we can help the men and women of the music industry achieve great things. I look forward to advocating on behalf of our great community.”
