PRS for Music announces Chair

PRS for Music has appointed STEVIE SPRING CBE Chair.

Spring succeeds STEPHAN DAVIDSON, who has held the role since 2014.

She previously chaired BBC's Children in Need and was Executive Chair of the British Council until early 2023.

Currently, she chairs the mental health charity Mind.

Originally a lawyer, Spring went on to spend 35 years in the creative industries, including as CEO at ClearChannel and Future plc. 

PRS for Music CEO ANDREA CZAPARY MARTIN said Spring's appointment is a "reflection on our ambition to maximise the value of the rights we represent and deliver world-class services for members and customers.

"She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, with a career as CEO and Chair, that spans global companies, small start-ups and charities."

“I love working with creative people, and I love music," Spring added.

"Andrea’s vision is progressive and ambitious; I’m very excited to be joining the PRS for Music Board at a time of such challenge and such opportunity."
