Blog 6: Music Industry

                               I found the 2025 IFPI Global Music Report really interesting for many different reasons. One thing that was cool to see was a lot of the artists that I listen to were on the list and gave statistics on how influential their music is worldwide. Another thing I found interesting was all the new trends and developments that we will see in the music industry. I think the future of music is still definitely gonna be heavily driven by the various streaming services. According to the report streaming services accounted fro 69% of the total music industry revenues. There was a huge growth of 9.5% in people signing up for paid subscriptions on different streaming services.

Kickstart Project Technology

                                                          For my kickstart project, I want to focus on Artificial Intelligence. AI quickly emerged its way into becoming a huge part in peoples lives. AI is technology that enables computers and machines to stimulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy. I never quite understood how AI came to be about and am intrigued on the topic of how these various databases work together to make decisions. One of the reasons I am interested in AI is because in my opinion I feel like it is taking over the world. I feel like people rely on it so heavily nowadays, that people don't even think for themselves anymore.  I too am a victim of this and can find myself using AI for many different purposes in my everyday life. We...

About Me

       What's up everybody, my name is Jaylen Hodges and I am a junior here at Chico State. This fall is my first semester here as I transferred in as a student athlete on the baseball team. I'm originally from Sacramento, CA and have pretty much lived there my whole life. Most of my time is spent on the baseball field, but when I am not I enjoy watching and playing other sports, playing video games, listening to music and hanging out with friends.
