Problem
The music industry faces challenges with fragmented data sources and opaque processes, leading to inaccurate and delayed payments for music rights holders. This disconnect stems from the historical separation of artists from their intellectual property rights and revenue streams, compounded by incomplete metadata.

MetaGen facilitates the creation of verified, industry-standard metadata directly from the source – the artist. By employing a human-centered approach, the application guides users through the metadata generation process, ensuring completeness and accuracy from initial song versions through to final recordings. This empowers artists by reconnecting them with their music, their revenue, and their valuable data, while supplying the industry with high-quality, verified information.
