Former South African and global music industry heavyweight Charles Goldstuck will be addressing delegates at Music Exchange in March. He will be making a special trip from New York City to give a keynote Q&A session surrounding the current worldwide music industry, the challenges facing independency as well as global opportunities. Two days of keynote talks and panel discussions will empower delegates in the music industry with the knowledge to make a living out of the passion for music.
“Charles attended Music Exchange last year to watch his brother Arthur Goldstuck talk - he saw the enthusiasm and passion in the room and without hesitation committed to speaking this year,” said Martin Myers, founder of Music Exchange. “It is a privilege and honour to have him with us. His presence, insights and knowledge, as well as his continued support of South African music, will help us put our home-grown talent back on the global stage.”
Prior to TouchTunes, Goldstuck was most recently the president and COO of the Bertelsmann Music Group (US), a division of Sony Music Entertainment. He was responsible for overseeing the business operations of the BMG music labels: the RCA Music Group, including RCA Records, J Records, Arista Records, as well as the RCA Victor Group; the Zomba Label group which incorporates Jive Records, LaFace Records and Verity Records. Prior to that, he was president and COO of the RCA Music Group. Goldstuck also sits on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
