I grabbed this part from the article. twitter.com/billboard/status/731363442288959488Seymour Stein on the Future of the Music Biz: India and China are 'Going to Explode'5/13/2016 by Karen Bliss "Sire Records chairman and VP of Warner Bros/ Records/Warner Music International Seymour Stein was enjoying “the best Chinese food outside of Hong Kong” when he was redirected back to Toronto’s Sheridan Centre for his Canadian Music Week panel on A&R for which he was given the wrong time. The A&R panel, which had already started, then got more interesting with input from the man who is celebrating Sire Records 50th anniversary this year. Stein called the TV show Vinyl “horrible,” challenged the other panelists about not signing acts with poor social media and digital numbers, reminisced about starting his career at age 14 at Billboard, and directed our attention to India and China as the next place to do business. Canadian Music Week President Neill Dixon on New Day-Long Music City Summit “I would advise, if there are any record people in the audience, look at Asia,” said Stein, who was just in Beijing for a festival put on by Modern Sky (whose t-shirt he was sporting) and visits India every year."There’s a conference there and these people in Bollywood they don’t like the music they’re writing; they’re writing it because movies are paying them to write it and they’re being told what to write," he told the CMW audience. "These people, if they have guts, they would get it up; they’re capable of being stars." He added, “India’s going to explode. China’s going to explode. There are some great great bands there. Martin Sky have most of them. There’s a company called Maybe Mars and there are others and the major labels haven’t got entrenched there yet; they’re interested in selling a few copies of their American or English (acts) or whatever they put out; it’s less about local product. “I think that’s the future. If you take India and you put it together with the rest of what was India, — Bangladesh and Pakistan — and you take China, you’ve got 40 percent of the world’s population and two of the fastest growing economies in the world. Look, people are no different. Everybody loves music.”
