Music industry veteran and Ministry Of Sound Australia chief executive Tim McGee has been announced as a new licensor representative on the board of the Phonographic Performance Company Of Australia (PPCA) following the organisation's recent election.
McGee brings with him more than two decades of experience both as a businessman and musician, with his time at MoSA bringing him purview over varied assets including record labels, publishing and management companies, and video and talent agencies. He's booked and promoted for renowned Sydney dance house Chinese Laundry, consulted for Merivale group and has served on the board of directors for multiple companies, including Mirror Image Access, Dash Tickets and even coconut water-makers H2COCO. He knows his stuff, is what we're saying. And the PPCA knows it.
"I couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Tim McGee to the PPCA board," chairman George Ash said in a statement. "Tim's appointment is a testament to his broad experience and the immense respect he has from the Australian music industry.
PPCA chief executive Dan Rosen was similarly effusive about McGee's appointment, congratulating him on his election and expressing that he "look[s] forward to working with him to further progress the interests of recording artists in Australia".

"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank outgoing Licensor Representative Colin Daniels for his invaluable contribution to the ongoing development of PPCA throughout the last two years."
McGee joins fellow Licensor Representative David Vodicka on the board, and will hold his position until at least the next biennial election.
"I express my thanks to all of the PPCA licensors who voted, not only for me, but for all candidates," McGee said in a statement.
"PPCA has an increasingly vital role to play for recording companies and artists as broadcast, public performance and online revenues become more and more important to the industry."
