Partnership Announcement: Legato Labs & Unchained Music Join Forces to Unlock the Future of Licensing

We're thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership that promises to revolutionize the way music is licensed. Legato Labs, leading the charge in state-of-the-art licensing solutions, is joining forces with Unchained Music, an innovator in music distribution. Together, we're creating a seamless, groundbreaking solution for artists and businesses.

Our vision is simple: empower artists with new revenue streams, promote transparency, and allow businesses and music marketplaces to access a vast array of legal and licensable music, easily and confidently.

Unlocking the Future of Music Licensing

At the heart of this strategic collaboration are two key components—Legato Labs's licensing APIs and smart contracts, and Unchained Music's expansive and Web3 friendly music distribution network. When united, these will redefine the world of licensing, starting with:

  1. On-Chain Licensing: Artists and rights holders will benefit from a secure, transparent method of music onboarding onto the Legato protocol through Unchained Music's platform.

  2. Instant License Discoverability: With Legato's partnerships with DSPs and music marketplaces, artists gain an extra layer of visibility. This heightened discoverability facilitates seamless licensing, promotes transparency, and opens the door to new revenue streams for artists. It's about making licensing more than just a transaction—it's a tool for empowerment and growth.

  3. Expanded Music Catalog: Unchained's vast music catalog will be accessible to Legato Labs, meaning an even broader range of high-quality licensable music for music supervisors and licensors.

The Road Ahead for Music Licensing Innovation

The excitement is building as this partnership takes shape over the coming months. Keep an eye on our website and social media channels for further details.

As Matt Waters, CEO of Unchained Music, puts it, "Our mission is to give more power to artists by giving them access to easy licensing options, at terms that make sense to them. Lower barriers to entry in music licensing mean more sustainable music careers. Unchained Music and Legato make a great team, as we share a deep commitment to music innovation that lets artists make more of their work with fewer barriers to exploitation on their terms".

Our very own Roy Osherove, Co-Founder and CEO of Legato Labs adds, "In an industry that's always evolving, we believe it's crucial to stay ahead of the curve. This partnership with Unchained Music encapsulates our dedication to empowering artists and transforming the music licensing landscape. We're excited to harness the power of blockchain technology to provide artists with an uncomplicated licensing process. But it's not just about making licensing simpler—it's about reshaping the industry to enable artists to make more from their creations. This is about advancing the industry in a way that puts the artists first."
