MusicSA have released the findings from their first annual survey of the South Australian contemporary music industry, conducted to reflect the current state of the local scene as well as “identify the sector’s perceived strengths and weaknesses to better inform and shape the future of MusicSA’s advocacy and industry development programs”.

According to the organisation, the findings (which you can read for yourself here) show that South Australia’s artists and music business professionals have a “strong demand for a better-connected music industry”, pointing out the need for “more professional and industry development, especially among regionally-based musicians and music businesses”.

One particularly striking question in the survey asked whether respondents thought the South Australian government was working well with the local music industry to effectively support it. Only 14.8 percent answered in the affirmative – with just 0.8 percent saying they “strongly agreed” with the sentiment – while 17.5 percent said they “strongly disagreed”, 22 percent said they “disagreed”, and another 22 percent said they “somewhat disagreed”.

Meanwhile, 80 percent of respondents said the financial state of the local industry is worse than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic (compared to 17 percent saying it’s the same, and three percent saying it’s better), with 52 percent saying the industry is suffering because of the rising costs to do business, inflation and the cost of living. A further 46 percent of respondents reported low or decreasing audience numbers, 41 percent reported a lack of potential to generate cash flow or income, and 35 percent reported a lack of paid performance opportunities for local artists.

In a formal statement, MusicSA CEO Christine Schloithe said of the inaugural report: “The outcomes from the 2024 survey paint an uncomfortable picture about the health of contemporary music in South Australia. While we have an extraordinary pool of talent and some very successful artists and businesses, local contemporary music is under-invested in and we see this in the lack of pathways, the lack of employment opportunities and sustainable careers, the decline in touring and live music, and in the business gaps that exist in our local ecosystem.

“The survey results reinforce what we know are the current challenges and opportunities for contemporary music in South Australia. We also know that with the right policy settings and targeted industry development and investment in the right areas, this is an industry that achieves significant cultural, creative and economic outcomes for the state.”

From here, MusicSA will pass the findings of their survey down to “key industry organisations, stakeholders and government”, and the body’s own industry development programs and initiatives, it’s promised, “will be tailored to [meet] the shifting needs of the local sector as highlighted in the survey”.

A rep for MusicSA notes of the effort: “Over time, it is intended that the annual survey will continue to benchmark the health of contemporary music in South Australia and build a longitudinal and comprehensive picture of industry gaps, growth, opportunity and trends.”

BLACKPINK’s Rosé recently addressed her new record deal with South Korean label The Black Label in an Instagram post, where she apologised to fans for “the long wait” on news about her solo career. “I know some of you have been very eager to hear from me for a while.”

With her new deal with The Black Label, Rosé became the final member of BLACKPINK to set a path for her solo career after the girl group decided not to renew their individual contracts with YG Entertainment. Her fellow bandmates, meanwhile, have all launched their own companies.

“I personally didn’t want to speak or announce anything before I had everything aligned for my music to be out,” the singer explained. “As you all know, I have come from a place where more things have been done for me over doing things on my own. So, naturally, I need time to learn, understand, doubt and trust myself and others.”

Rosé the confirmed that she has been working on new music, revealing that she has been “been in and out of the studio almost every single day” from the end of 2023 and all throughout 2024. “To me, there is nothing more important than delivering to you what I absolutely love, which is music,” she added.

“This has been a year of drawing up a map and navigating to where I want to be and what I want to be doing going forward. It has been months of learning how to be an independent person for myself,” she continued. “I will have some other very exciting announcements in the not-too-distant future, but most importantly, I would love for everyone to be most excited for my music.”

Earlier this this year, prior to her signing with The Black Label, Rosé teased a new song called ‘vampirehollie’ on Instagram. “I know I’ve been away for a minute, but I’ve been working really hard on some things that I’m really excited about,” she wrote at the time. “I cannot wait for you all to hear everything.”
