On last week's episode of Vinyl Tap, I spoke to Asian Music Industry legend Sandy Monteiro, this week it's his business partners turn.

Allan Klepfisz is not from the Music Industry per se. He is an entrepreneur by nature, having worked in the restaurant and textile industries, but he has always had a penchant for tech.

His new Music Tech baby Fenix 360 aims to change the e-commerce landscape for creatives from all industries, particularly musicians.

In this week's new episode of Vinyl Tap, we get Allan's fresh perspective of the music industry and also why he believes Fenix 360 will make a difference in the highly competitive world of Music Tech and in the artist community itself. This man is not mucking around!

Sandy Monteiro is very highly regarded in not just Asia, but throughout the world. He is a true pioneer of the digital music space and he has also had very successful stints at running both major and independent record labels. I first met Sandy when he was CEO of Universal S/E Asia some 10 years ago and was suitably impressed by his knowledge of music and, more importantly, his grasp and take on the future of digital music and streaming.

These days, Sandy is still pushing the envelope in the Music Tech space. Fenix 360 is his new baby, a music tech platform that was founded by his business partner Allan Klepfisz (who will be on the show next week). What is Fenix 360? Will it change the way artists do business online? And what are Sandy's plans for the future? This is an intriguing insight into the music industry and music tech space as seen through an Asian lens by one of the best in the business.
