The Best And Brightest Music Industry Minds On Twitter [LIST]
A few weeks back, we began to compile a list of music industry professionals that are “required follows” on Twitter; similar to how Billboard listed their top music industry personnel but a little more focused on the music tech side of things. We took our own list of favorites and combined it with reader recommondations to present to you the following list of top innovators, industry leaders, and all around resourceful people who are worthy of following.

Blimey! Unexpected appearance from me on the list.
Blushes profusely
Many thanks guys 🙂

@buzzsonic
Aw shucks. Thanks dude.
You’re going to motivate me to tweet better and more often.
For music folks our @Bandzoogle account has LOTS more relevant content than my feeble tweets, and I gotta say, y’all should follow @dave_cool, our Director of Artists Relations, the one real real music industry genius we have on the team.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the mention!
You have a great list. I’d add @sisaro, @futurehitdna, and @mmasnick here.
Not tech focused, but the @wfmu posts are amazing, too.
Wow, thanks for including me! Can’t describe how much I appreciate it. Thanks so much for all the hard work you guys do at Hypebot.
Thanks for this! I’m feeling more self conscious than ever about all the pics of coffee shops, ice hockey and my daughter now…
Cheers

Hey, thanks for including me guys! =)
I second all those recommendations.
Truly flattered! I would also add Susan Lainson (@slainson) to the list. She posts really smart links & commentary on the business of media, mostly music.
This is truly an honor. Thank you Hypebot for listing me as a top Tweeter in the music biz.
This is one hell of a list to be included in. I learn so much from you brainiacs every single day!
Only four women? Surely there are more.
Congrats David! 😀
Great list! I would add @mmasnick and James Martin’s @midem
Thank You with much MusicLuv, for the AWESOME! list of industry people to follow as well as Ur own intelligent minds 🙂 list.

Flattered and honored to be on this list as well!
Jeremy Schlosberg @fingertipsmusic
Brian Hazard @colortheory
thetrichordist @thetrichordist
Andrew Dubber @dubber
Dave Allen @DaveAtNORTH
Eliot Van Buskirk @listeningpost
Jay Frank @Repojay
Sweet list! You missed @KatieForte though, the twitter mastermind behind @msgeconcerts, @radiocity, @beacontheatre
No Darren Hemmings, or the indispensable @bemuso? Or Zoe Keating. Or Steve Lawson? Andrew Dubber’s latest record label is a work of genius ; @steoreilly from mobile roadie,@rogboy, @ruthdaniel, also worth following.
Shame on you guys for not including David Hooper from MusicMarketing.com on that list. I believe his Twitter username is @davidhooper. He’s been around just as long, if not longer, than many of the music marketing veterans you included.
I made a Twitter list in case you want to follow this fabulous group that I am proud to be a part of http://bit.ly/HypebotBestList
No Ann P. Munday twitter MundayMunday
Us! Newbie unsigned band reviwing site and feed @musichuntersgb 😀
You missed Professor Markus Burger, a longtime music industry expert, who recently has become a sought-after figure as a consultant and speaker for his expertise in all things related to music technology, particularly as it relates to the application of technology in music education.
