Do songwriters from small markets need international success—and what does it take to turn that success into real income? This panel grounds the discussion in collecting societies' data, offering an overview of how music from smaller markets performs abroad.
Speakers share why international markets matter and how they have built careers beyond their home territories. The discussion also covers how international use is tracked and paid, and what role collecting societies play in the process—concluding with a look at what both songwriters and societies should prioritise going forward.
Speakers:
- Lauri Mäntynen, Songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist
- Kristjan Randalu, pianist and composer
- Mati Kaalep, CEO of the Estonian Authors' Society
