Our mission

There is $1.4 Billion in unpaid royalties in the music industry every year.

This is largely because the music industry has no standard system for collecting music credits and royalty data and delivering it through its supply chain.

Sound Credit was the first platform for this and it was the most viral music software release in history.

Sound Credit is solving the problem of music industry credits and royalties, as well as the issues stemming from the heavily fractured music industry marketplace.

Ultimately, Sound Credit's mission is to help music organizations accurately recognize and pay music creators with easy-to-use technology and resources that improve the quality of music credits.
