Decision to Join Music Biz: SongSplits feels that we developed a viable industry solution in collecting writer data as the current method is an unstructured, time-intensive process of telephone calls, emails and circulating documents. This is an inefficient, high-cost business practice in the music industry that continues to produce limited, and often costly, results.
We have built the company and it’s robust database on our trusted relationships with songwriters, producers and publishers. We’ve joined Music Biz to expand our intelligence, messaging and offerings to songwriters and B2B alliances.
Looking to Gain as a Member: SongSplits will contribute and gain insight within multiple technology, copyright and data sectors of the association as we value it’s knowledge bank, transparency and growth. We look forward to building upon our principles and research through conversations and events while we truly appreciate the opportunity to share our global copyright management solution.
