Team day today, which was a timely reminder when you are still a hybrid team, how awesome it is to hear your colleagues present so brilliantly on the fantastic work they are all doing all on behalf of recorded music. They are all so very inspiring #BPI

Really delighted to be reappointed to this, representing our brilliant music industry.

Dear Sir Gareth Southgate,

Video games aren’t an 'unhealthy alternative', they’re a force for good.

From keeping friends connected to boosting mental health, games inspire, educate and unite millions.

We are part of the solution we all seek.

This year I have committed myself to do more culture stuff. And by that I mean music and maybe a play but comedy. Have done Peter Kay and have just booked Chelsea Handler and Goodnight Oscar. Life can’t be all work.

Who’s excited for the #britawards? I am! It’s going to be a fantastic celebration of the pure human artistry that males the music we love, that helps us express ourselves, that makes the UK sing on a global stage. Let’s make sure we keep on promoting, celebrating & protecting our artists.

Along with 1,000 musicians, today we're releasing a silent album protesting the UK government's plan to upend copyright law to benefit AI companies.

Please listen & share!

BPI supports the #MakeItFair campaign.

Tech companies are using music to train AI without proper permission or payment.

This is wrong and threatens our industry. We urge policymakers to uphold copyright.

Finally - sunset past 5pm today.

🚨 10% of tracks uploaded to Deezer every day are fully AI generated, according to new research from Deezer themselves.

How much more evidence do you need that generative AI competes with the work it's trained on?

Powerful message from Sir Paul McCartney to the UK government on their plans to upend copyright law to benefit AI companies:

“You’re supposed to protect us. … Make sure you protect the creative thinkers, the creative artists, or you’re not going to have them.”

16 years today we lost mum and she is always in my thoughts especially when times are tough. Not sure what she would make of the world today.

It may be my age or my laptop but I have just tried to set up my Christmas present which is a Maschine Mikro Mk 3 and I honestly can’t even get it to turn on. So much software it’s so confusing.

Kate Mosse CBE with a powerful rallying cry in the FT for creators to fight the UK government’s proposals to weaken copyright to benefit AI companies:

- The gen AI training they plan to legalise is theft

Copyright law is vital to the UK's creative industries.

We're proud to join the Creative Rights in AI Coalition, which is calling on government to protect copyright as AI policy develops.

It’s been almost 18 months since I joined the brilliant music industry. Tonight, I finally did karaoke with my team. If you know, you know.

We've joined @bsky.app 👋

We're here to promote British music!

We represent UK record labels, organise the BRITs, Mercury Prize & more, co-own @officialcharts.bsky.social & run #BRITcertified 🎶

Give us a follow to keep up to date with our mission!

Congratulations to all the #creativeindustries people recognised in the New Year’s Honours list. Our sector continues to be world leading and people at every level work so hard to make it the amazing industry it is.

Been a long week. Bath run, facemask on, gin poured, burger ordered, Modern Family on play.

I am still after all this time in total awe of how our talented creative industries can turn words, maths, pictures into wonderful games and how bits of string, wood, skin and metal can make the most proud sounds. #creativeindustries

On my season 1 of #modernfamiy journey. Tears incoming.

The Jackbox Party Pack 10 launches on October 19.

This is the one and only game I wish were "live service", where I pay for a base game + DLC. Not having all the games in one easy-to-use app is a pain for parties!

Nearly at the end of #shittscreek which is my bathtime treat tv watch. What’s next - any suggestions?

Jet lag 3 days later is …… 👀 🙀 👀

Travelling to Scotland for a funeral. I can’t tell you brilliant the playlist for the #MercuryPrize shortlist is. It had been a brilliant companion. Check it out

Dinner tonight is going to be 2 smashed picked eggs, salad, rice, all smothered in #baconnaise. Dinner of champions. Maybe some croutons that have been lingering for some time.

We are pleased to be given the funding green light by Government for a new creative arts school in Bradford. Investing in creative arts education is a priority. Creative industries need a diverse stream of talent to feed our future and this will give opportunities to young people in N England.

Today marks one month in the new job. What a fantastic team and organisation the @bpi_music is and it has been such an amazing month. Time flies when you are representing and working with some of the best creative talent in the world #creativearts #music
