Irving Azoff and MAC Demand Music Creators Don’t Get Left Behind in UMG Deal

Irving Azoff and the Music Artists Coalition (MAC) are sounding the alarm on the new UMG-Udio deal. Their message? Don't screw over the artists.

While the agreement has some promising elements, Azoff insists it needs to prioritize the people actually making the music. After all, nothing screams 'music industry' like artists being left out of their own success.

MAC has voiced cautious optimism but is adamant about getting the nitty-gritty details. They want to ensure that this deal doesn't become a shiny distraction while artists' rights and earnings hang in the balance.

In a world where music streaming is king, Azoff said, "We’re insistent on clarity." Artists deserve to know how this deal impacts their future – and they're not going to sit quietly while it unfolds.
