Ioan is a hands-on lawyer specialised in Copyright and Media law. He has been active in the music industry for over 25 years, which he has come to know from different angles: as a recording and touring musician, as a lawyer, as a teacher and since 2021 as a policy advisor. As General Secretary of AEPO-ARTIS, the federation of European performers' organisations, he represents a network of 42 collective management organisations active in 30 countries. On the top of his agenda is the continuous battle for our fair remuneration for performers for the streaming and other online exploitation of their work, as well as AI use.
