Lyor Cohen Does Not Believe in Exclusives | Orfium's Music Streaming Mission

Exclusives are charting a new era in how the music business defines a hit.

Orfium, a music streaming startup company out of Los Angeles California, has embarked on an ambitious mission to streamline the way people create, share, and consume digital music.

Though streaming and touring have emerged as bright spots for the music industry, neither remotely make up for the loss in revenues from recorded music for singers. Songwriters face an even bigger problem because they live exclusively on royalties.

The 300 Entertainment co-founder doesn't want one streaming service to win over another.

Spotify is tapping into video by creating the series Landmark - Metallica: The Early Years. Celebrating the rock and roll band, Spotify’s first music documentary shows the beginning years of the band through a four-part series.

Subscription-based music streaming services are growing, while ad-supported services are stuck in place.

MediaWorks has partnered with Vevo to become its exclusive premium video sales partner in New Zealand.
