Music Business Resources Part 2: Penny Fractions

Penny Fractions is written and published by David Turner who’s written for various music publications such as Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Music Business Worldwide and Pitchfork.

He writes on topics such as major record label Histories, the relationship between social media and teh record industry, Spotify and other music streaming services, song rights acquisition, the history of piracy among other things.

David writes a couple of articles a month and the articles are researched and written extremely well. Often he draws from others and builds upon his previous work.
