Billboard quoted Symphonic CEO Jorge Brea in their Indie Power Player Q&A on how the Indie World has continued to change over the years.
Independent music has grown in importance greatly across the past few years, with increased market share and dominance at the DSPs in terms of numbers of artists making an impact globally. So much so that the majors have continued their previous actions, acquiring a number of independents (labels, publishers and distributors), raising the question of who is really independent anymore. Symphonic is proud of our independent music roots as we continue to operate outside of the major label systems, bringing value to our independent labels and artists who have chosen ownership and control as their path forward.
– Jorge Brea, Billboard
