As the music industry evolves, self-service tools for artists and rightsholders are becoming indispensable. From managing royalties to optimising distribution and marketing, these platforms empower creators to take control of their careers. But one area that remains underserved is legal and business affairs: a critical element of managing rights and ensuring creative freedom.
Why Tools Like Songpact Matter
The recently announced planned acquisition of Downtown by Universal Music Group and, as part of that package, Curve Royalty Systems, highlights the growing value of platforms that simplify complex processes. Tools like these are now essential for artists and their teams to navigate a rapidly changing landscape. Yet, the addition of legal and business affairs tools – like Songpact – is a new and highly valuable development for the artist toolkit.
Songpact addresses one of the most challenging pain points for artists and rightsholders: managing contributor agreements quickly, clearly, and affordably. By providing a platform to create, customise, and finalise contracts, Songpact empowers creators to focus on what they do best: making music. For partners like labels, distributors, and DSPs it ensures a clean chain of title, reducing delays and disputes.
The Power of Collaboration and Innovation
Innovative companies like ROSTR, led by founder Mark Williamson, are paving the way with their directory for music industry contacts and data. Tools like Un:hurd, under Alex Brees, provide data-led marketing and promotional solutions, while Mogul, led by Jeff Ponchick, helps rightsholders locate missing royalties fast.
These companies demonstrate the transformative potential of self-service tools, especially when they work together to solve the complex challenges of the modern music industry. Songpact is poised to complement these offerings, adding seamless legal and business affairs management to the growing ecosystem of artist tools.
