I’m excited to share my next chapter as the CEO & Co-Founder of Notes.fm. The music industry is complex. $500M+ in music royalties go unclaimed annually: the system is broken and needs to be easier to use and understand. Every artist deserves all of their royalties. Notes.fm is artist-friendly financial management — mission control for your music business. Join Notes to see all of your revenue streams in one place, collect unclaimed royalties and ensure you’re receiving 100% of the value associated with your work. We’re opening our waitlist today to any artist on Spotify who wants to ensure their Top 10 songs are properly registered to collect royalties, starting with SoundExchange. See your results on Notes.fm. Thank you to our early team, investors, and partners especially @cthdrl. We are building a solution so artists can finally know, collect, and grow the whole pie. If this sounds like something you believe should exist, join us.

🎶 Notes.fm has raised $5 million to unify royalties, publishing, and distribution for independent artists and music companies. I’m incredibly excited and honored to be working with such an amazing group of people that care deeply about music and building an industry that makes it easier for the musicians that create the music we love to get paid every royalty. We’re aiming to find and collect as many royalties for as many musicians as we can. Try it today at Notes.fm.

Very excited to share what we’ve spent the past year building at @notesroyalties: Notes Financial Accounts. 🎶 Distribute new music to @Spotify and 50+ platforms, register your songs, and collect your royalties automatically. Release once. Collect everywhere. Notes Financial Accounts are powered by @stripe, giving you one place to view your music earnings and withdraw funds to your bank account.

Thank you @Forbes for writing about @notesroyalties. This Music Platform Is Helping Artists Find Unclaimed Money forbes.com/sites/matthewleim… It’s a complex problem with real financial consequences for musicians and music companies of every scale. The best time to claim your royalties is now. 🎶

Credits.fm is now in @claudeai as a connector! claude.ai/directory/connecto… Credits.fm is a free, open database of public music credits and identifiers, including ISRC, ISWC, IPI, ISNI, & UPC accessible via API/MCP. It has already indexed 150M+ codes and it is growing and improving daily. Give it a try if you are interested in music credits.

Thank you Portia Sabin & Music Business Association for having me on The Future of What to talk about what we are building at Notes.fm to make it easier for musicians and companies to recover royalties. musicbiz.org/news/the-future…

Thank you @billboard for sharing the Notes launch! Really excited about what our team is building and the opportunity ahead. Claim your music royalties today. 🎶 notes.fm 🎶

Thank you @chartmetric for including me in your Figures In Music interview series. It was fun sharing more about @notesroyalties and the work we are doing to make sure musicians and companies get all of their royalties. hmc.chartmetric.com/notes-fm…

Thank you @btv_vc team for the opportunity to share Notes at BTV's NYC Demo Day yesterday. It was an amazing program and group of companies to learn + grow with over the past 3 months while enjoying lots of NYC pizza. 🍕📈

Feeling overwhelming gratitude today. Today closes a chapter with the sale of @stem to @concordmusic. billboard.com/pro/concord-ac… Thank you to the day one Stem team, artists, investors, and partners that supported our mission to help independent artists make a sustainable living. Special thank you to Shawn Fanning for believing in me and coining the Disintermedia in Stem Disintermedia. Your support made the difference in Stem becoming a business instead of remaining an idea and changed my life. We might not be in the articles, but we made it happen. As one chapter closes, another begins, but with the same mission at its core… right now, any artist can go to Notes.fm and review their Top 10 songs to make sure they are collecting all of their royalties. Over 90% of the artists in our beta – from emerging artists to arena headliners and legacy estates, have identified issues impacting songs with a collective 20B+ streams missing royalties. I will be in NYC for the next few months with the Notes team, and our pre-seed lead investor, @btv_vc, gearing up for the next phase of our platform. Exciting times ahead in music fintech. 🎶

My favorite songs of 2024. ♪ Great year for new music. open.spotify.com/playlist/6S…

It's hard to stay independent in music.
