ABOUT
My approach to building
the tech brands of tomorrow
David has nearly three decades of experience in digital technology strategy, focusing for almost 25 years on online music distribution. He began his career at Sony Corporation in Tokyo in 1993 and first became involved in the digital distribution of music in 1996. In 1998 he moved to Sony Music in New York where, as Vice President of Technology Strategies and Digital Policy, he created and headed the industry’s first online distribution department. His responsibilities included the creation of all aspects of the technical and business infrastructures required to enable mass online distribution.
In 2006, David joined the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in Washington, DC where for almost 15 years he represented the major recording companies’ technology interests as Chief Technology Officer. His responsibilities included the development and promotion of technical standards, emerging technologies and new formats, as well as outreach to the broader technology community.
In April 2021 David became an independent strategic technology consultant. His clients include the RIAA, SoundExchange and Jaxsta.

Client ROI
- My clients include AI companies in the music space (Song Sleuth and soon for NSF Technologies)
“Country music is perhaps the biggest paradox for AI because the underlying melodies are very formulaic, but the lyrics are based on human experience. I’d be very interested to see how long it takes an AI to come up with [the Bobby Braddock composed] Tammy Wynette song, “D-I-V-O-R-C-E.” Unless that AI spent time in a kitchen fighting with their AI spouse in front of their 4-year-old AI, it probably wouldn’t happen [at least not for some time.] That’s the RIAA’s Chief Technology Officer David Hughes speaking in an event organized by the US Copyright Office and World Intellectual Property Organization in February to discuss ‘Copyright in the Age of Artificial Intelligence’. The transcripts and video have just been published, including for the session focused on AI music.”
