By The Way: AI Creates 27 Club, NMC Needs Malaysians Support, Scooter Braun Cashes In

By The Way is a rapid-fire segment that gives you a snapshot of developing stories in the music world. This week, non-profit organization Over The Bridge launched a project titled “Lost Tapes of the 27 Club” that uses AI technology to recreate an album. The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia is in talks for the establishment of National Music Corporation that aims to have more Malaysians to be involved in the country’s music industry. Lastly, media entrepreneur and music manager Scooter Braun sold the entirety of his Ithaca Holdings to South Korea’s HYBE formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment for a whopping $1 billion dollars.
