EP/32: SYNC LICENSING

Disrupting the Music Labels with SyncFloor’s Kirt Debique

LISTEN ON: APPLE SPOTIFY STITCHER

Music labels were once the gatekeepers of the music industry, handling every part of the music production and distribution process. Now this oligopoly has been disrupted by new technologies that lower the cost for artists to create music, distribute it and promote it themselves. The labels and the business models needed to support them have had to adapt to this new reality. 

To walk us through this topic we’re joined by Kirt Debique, CEO of music label Bricklane and technology startup SyncFloor. Kirt was a 20 year Microsoft veteran who left tech to start an indie music label and a new technology company that helps artists license their music for commercial applications.
