UK Music has launched its annual Creators Survey to find out the economic value of the music industry to the UK economy.

Open to artists, musicians, composers, songwriters, lyricists, singers, producers and engineers, it asks a number of questions that will help the Musicians' Unions strengthen its case for further protection, investment and development of the sector at home and abroad.

Accurate assessment

According to the MU website the information will be used to give an accurate assessment of how music contributes to the UK economy and how many jobs it supports.

Breakdowns for different sectors such as live performance, musical composition and recorded music will also enable it to gauge trends and areas of growth as well as concern.

For the first time, the survey also includes information about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on musicians.
