In this conversation with Mike Fabio of New West Records, we explore the numerous ways in which digital and streaming, in particular, intersect and drive the strategies and operations of a modern, independent record label. We also discuss what may come next after streaming.

Mike Fabio is Vice President, Digital Strategy for New West Records, home to artists including John Hiatt, Ben Folds, and All Them Witches. Mike’s prior roles include the first executive at Warner Bros Records responsible for social media and community, where he worked with and built pioneering digital campaigns with artists like DEVO, Eric Clapton, and The Black Keys, community manager for Google’s Lunar X Prize Foundation, and research assistant at the world-renowned MIT Media Lab.
