Charles Caldas’ Post

We are proud to announce that we are founding members of the Organization for Recorded Culture and Arts (ORCA). https://lnkd.in/dGepmy5x ORCA is a think tank comprised of leading international independent music labels committed to increasing the economic, social, and cultural value of music. Today we launched our first report "Setting the Stage: How Music Works." It's free to download here - https://lnkd.in/dthtsB87 ORCAs mission is to develop globally relevant, evidence‑based research that informs governments and supports the work of trade associations, as well as contributing to furthering music’s impact on global economic and social development. We believe the value that music brings to society needs to be better understood, and are proud to be a part of this groundbreaking think-tank, coordinated through the Center for Music Ecosystems.

Last night in London, at the gorgeous rooms of The RSA (The royal society for arts, manufactures and commerce), Monash presented Charles Caldas with a Distinguished Alumni Award. Charles has carved out an impressive career in leadership in the music industry and has twice featured in the Billboard Magazine Power 100 for his work in digital rights. Congratulations to Charles from all at Monash Arts! More on Charles here: https://lnkd.in/gcAkTAW7

100 million Spotify streams!!! Congratulations to Ark Patrol on an amazing milestone for the track "Let Go". Last year we announced our acquisition of the catalogue of Heroic Music Group, which brought this incredible song into the Exceleration family. We couldn't be more proud to see Ark Patrol succeeding in this way. #music #musicstreaming #musicbusiness #spotify #musicindustry #musicnews #independentartist #independentmusic Heroic Music Group
