Ian MacKay re-appointed as President of Re:Sound

Ian MacKay has been unanimously re-appointed as President by Re:Sound’s Board of Directors, extending his term to 2020.

Ian’s work at Re:Sound has been invaluable in ensuring music creators in Canada are compensated for the use of their recordings. According to a Re:Sound release, core revenues have more than doubled under Ian’s tenure as President. Recently, Re:Sound’s Project Revelation, undertaken with CONNECT Music Licensing, led to an increase of $1.2 million annually for CONNECT’s rights holder members, among other benefits.

“I am honoured and excited to be leading Re:Sound into the next chapter” said MacKay in a press release. “We have a truly great team here – people who live and breathe that everything we do must be for the music creators we represent. With the strong support of the Board, I look forward to working with the Re:Sound team to continue to build an even stronger organization – championing music creators rights and combining an entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for efficiency and transparency. In today’s changing music industry, standing still is not an option. We must always move forward.”

Music Canada would like to congratulate Ian on his re-appointment, and wish him success as he continues to represent rights holders with the passion, energy and commitment for which he has become known.
