Who Shapes the Rules of Music—and Why It Matters to Creators
A Studio Retreat conversation with Patrick Rogers, CEO of Music Canada—the industry trade association representing Canada’s major record labels: Sony, Universal, and Warner.
Hosted by Nik Keca, a Grammy-winning mixer and producer.
The modern music industry isn’t shaped only by platforms and audiences—it’s shaped by policy, legislation, and the organizations that influence them.
In this Studio Retreat, Patrick and Nik will have a candid, high-level conversation about:
- Advocating for the rights of major record labels
- How music policy is formed—and who it serves
- Where industry interests align and where tensions exist
- What AI means for rights holders and creators alike
- Why understanding this system is essential for anyone serious about music
This session isn’t about taking sides. It’s about understanding the ecosystem your music lives inside.
