Founded in 1998 with the goal of being the #1 music service and brand for independent-minded fans, eMusic has served a community of 50 million users with personal music journeys leading to a deeper connection to music and artists. As the industry has shifted and evolved, we’ve had a front row seat to changes in the industry that have hijacked value and revenue from the artists and placed many music services in jeopardy. The eMusic Blockchain project is a unique opportunity to help solve these supply-side issues that are restricting the earning potential for artists, as well as providing a much-needed degree of transparency in payments and fan data and promises to bring artists and listeners closer than ever before. Built on Ethereum, eMusic’s distribution platform will eliminate the need for multiple intermediaries to insert themselves into the process of distributing music from artist to music services and fans, providing full visibility into all interactions with an asset. This gives artists more control over their music and allows them to get paid more efficiently and automatically — thereby accruing more value for the creator and owner.
