About

 

Mission: Our mission is to help elevate the music industry’s royalty IQ in order to empower a more modern approach to licensing and administration.

Our premise is a simple one:

  • Music royalties are difficult for most to understand

  • Music licensing is outdated and can often be complicated and inconvenient

  • An imbalance of information often hurts licensing negotiations

  • The transition from broadcast to digital is threatening the incomes of composers across the globe

    We want to help

 

Who we are

 

As musicians and technologists, we’re passionate about the advancement and welfare of the music economy because it’s our lives. Our platform delivers clarity and valuable insights in royalty data through a modernized approach.
