Interview: Dan Rosen

Dan Rosen is the CEO of ARIA and PPCA, the two peak bodies for the Australian recorded music industry. In this interview, he talks about how the Australian artists have continued to find ways to write and record great songs and connect with music fans. Despite the enormity of the pandemics impact, he sees a music community that continues to adapt and change, battle hardened and innovative and continuing to make the soundtracks of our lives.

As part of our commitment to capturing and sharing great Australian music stories, the Australian Music Vault responded to the challenges of COVID-19 by creating a series of video stories that capture, in real time, the impact that this pandemic has had on the music community.
