Downtown Music Publishing VP Joe Conyers is a Billboard Digital Power Player

Last week, Billboard designated Joe Conyers, Downtown Music Publishing’s VP of Tech, as one of the Digital Power Players in today’s music industry. Joe has been integral in making Downtown a more artist-friendly publisher, from pushing for equitable royalty delivery from new online channels for music like Facebook and Vine to creating an app to help artists reach out to the company’s client services and to check on royalty payments. Joe is also heavily involved in Downtown’s blockchain initiatives, seeking ways to use the ground-breaking technology to make the publishing industry more efficient.
