The music market brings together all the activities leading to the marketing of musical products. These productions can be physical (CDs, vinyl) or digital. Another outlet for works: synchronization (music composition linked to audiovisual, such as a film or an advertisement). Concerts and festivals are also an integral part of the music market.
The music market is very buoyant today, in France as well as internationally.
With the rise of streaming platforms, the collapse of record sales, and the comeback of vinyl, the music industry has undergone profound upheavals in recent years.
The players in the market are numerous: artists of course, but also agents, producers, publishers, show organizers, programmers, concert hall directors… Exciting professions, constantly evolving, that require specific training.
The music industry attracts many young graduates. It is accessed through programs offered by specialized schools such as IESA arts&culture.
