Music is incredible. It can excite hundreds, and unite thousands. But as an industry, it has been slow, complicated, and disjointed. While the tech world has moved into the future, the music industry continues to be shaped by inefficient legacy systems of the past.

So join our journey as this podcast explores how new music technology can result in fairer and more transparent distribution of royalties across the entire industry.

Through conversations with music industry professionals working as artists, writers, collection societies, publishers, labels, and more - we hope to shed light on the way music royalties work in real life, and discover best practices for collectively helping to unlock the true value in music, the industry we all love and hold dear.
