Music Matters

A collective of people in the music industry, including artists, retailers, songwriters, labels and managers has formed to remind listeners of the significance and value of music.

Music Matters is bringing people together from across the industry for the first time, to highlight the profound value of music and to educate consumers on how to identify legitimate music services.

Allowing the music to speak for itself, Music Matters comprises a series of short animated films about inspirational artists who have dedicated their lives to music and contributed to our cultural landscape. The films, including the stories of artists such as Sigur Ros, the Fron Choir, Blind Willie Johnson, The Jam, John Martyn, Nick Cave and Kate Bush, will be carried on supporting artist and organisation websites, with further films scheduled for roll out later in the year. I’ve chosen the Louis Armstrong one.

A Music Matters trust mark has been launched to help audiences make the ethical choice when looking for new music. The trust mark is a widespread certification scheme which identifies legitimate music services. Leading music retailers will display the trust mark and host the Music Matters films on their websites.

I feel like this is important because a lot of people spill their souls into their music and it’s only fair that they get to make a living out of it if they want to. If there’s a way to make people remember their love for music and how exciting and special it is and makes them feel then maybe people won’t steal it anymore.
