Michael Huppe is a music industry executive and attorney who serves as president and CEO of SoundExchange, a non-profit collective rights management organization.
Career[edit]
Huppe began his career as a commercial litigator and joined SoundExchange as its General Counsel in 2007, where he is now President and CEO. Huppe, who has been named multiple times to Billboard's Power 100 List,[1] helped lead efforts for the passage of the Music Modernization Act, which was passed by Congress in 2018.[2][3]
In 2015, Huppe led a “contentious” effort to raise the rates music streaming companies pay to performers and creators for use of their work.[4] The case went before the Copy Royalty Board. Huppe claimed the difference in proposed rates between existing industry standards and rates SoundExchange proposed could amount to up to $5 billion over a five-year period.[5][6][7][8]
Huppe is a member of the Community Advisory Board of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and on the National Board of Trustees for T.J. Martell Foundation.[9]
