Rick Wakeman on board, with a wealth of experience in the
popular music business and in broadcasting.
The Music Sector
The music sector was impacted by technological changes in distribution
far earlier than broadcast media and feature films. Record companies
and artists now recognize that with scores of new streaming services
emerging on the market, they can market their material to a much wider
audience. Television programming, live concerts and merchandising
are a key means of perpetuating the brands of individual artists and
groups.
With this trend in mind, and with a well-known popular musician on side,
SDF will be able to access A-List artists and musicians willing to
participate in their programming. SDF’s music documentaries will be
designed to highlight the achievements of these artists and to
investigate their own unique contributions to the music industry and to
the artform in general.

including “Between the Lines” (a working title), presented and co-
produced by Rick Wakeman.
