About the Author
Glenn McDonald is expertly placed to provide a comprehensive picture of the global music industry in the 2020s. Growing up in 1980s and 1990s America, he was an obsessive collector of physical music – CDs and vinyl albums. But he soon realised the revolutionary power of digital media to make songs more widely accessible.
He started doing data work at the US music-intelligence startup The Echo Nest, which was soon acquired by Spotify. He became Spotify's Data Alchemist. His website Every Noise at Once (everynoise.com) is an unprecedented computational map of the world's music genres.
