Tech Trendsetter Showcase Webinars
Tech Trendsetter Showcase Webinars
Despite the best collaborative efforts of global music industry players to combat all forms of fraud, it is challenging to keep track of the latest tech platforms & services designed to help in the fight against bad actors. That’s why Music Biz and the MFFA are partnering to expand its Trust & Safety in Music Symposium with the new Tech Trendsetter Showcase webinar series, supported by TuneCore! Across these free virtual events, you’ll meet several companies who are leading the charge with new solutions designed to support your company’s needs as you develop a fraud action plan.
Part #1
Wednesday, November 4th | 2 — 3 pm ET
Featuring presentations from XYNQ and Cadenza
About XYNQ
XYNQ builds ORIGIN, a policy and compliance engine for automated content decisions. Every time a distributor, label or platform flags, removes or approves content, ORIGIN issues a cryptographically signed Evidence Pack showing which rule applied and why, so the decision can be audited and defended. XYNQ is based in Edinburgh and founded by Leo Fakhrul, who previously ran independent label Mamba Sounds (10M+ listeners). We’re focused on helping the industry deal with streaming fraud and AI content at scale.
About Cadenza
Cadenza is a rights management platform that helps independent artists manage their entire catalog in order to protect their music, voice, and likeness. We compile catalog information, rights records, and evidence of usage to detect and investigate suspected unauthorized uses, misattributed releases, and likeness impersonation. Cadenza handles the administrative work end to end from detection to takedown or monetization. Artists maintain full control over which uses to authorize, monetize, or challenge, while retaining complete ownership and control over their work. Cadenza is also building a verified rights and identity graph that connects artists’ identities and creative personas to their releases, credits, collaborators, and other supporting rights information.

About limbo/Beat

Part #3

Featuring presentations from Copyright Delta and Vollou
About Copyright Delta
Copyright Delta specializes in safeguarding and monetizing copyrighted material in our new digital, virtual and AI-driven worlds. For this, the company provides protection and detection tools for songs, royalties and IP. At the core, all data is sovereign across multiple parties, while neutrally connecting the dots between B2B, B2C and rights holders. The team combines decades of expertise in music, copyright law, artificial intelligence, big data processing and banking blockchain technologies.
About Vollou
Vollou is a London-based music recognition company. We have built technology that identifies music in real-world conditions, including DJ sets where tracks are mixed, layered and played at different speeds and pitches, and live performances, using a dedicated model for live bands.
Our technology is already used for royalty distribution. Vollou works with collecting societies including PRS for Music in the UK and Music Nation in the UAE to replace manual, self-reported setlists with an automatic record of what was played, where and when, so royalties reach the artists and songwriters whose music was actually used. We are now exploring how the same recognition, and in particular our ability to match tracks that have been sped up, slowed down or pitch-shifted, can be applied to fraud detection, such as identifying altered copies of existing recordings presented as new works.
