#318 - The Famous Black Box

Music. Data. Rights. They're all connected in one form or another, but it can be confusing at times, especially with technology outpacing the music industry. As an owner of music content, the revenue stream created by the music, can fall into a black box of sorts, just waiting there until the money is found. In steps Orfium, which is a global technology company solving the entertainment industry’s biggest challenges around digital music & broadcast rights management, cue sheets, data and reporting.

 

Bryan Bakke who is the Director of Business Development at Orfium, joins us in the studio to discuss the ever changing landscape of the music industry, and what his company brings to the table to clear the clutter that can sometimes boggle the mind. Orfium is transforming the music and entertainment industry with market-leading technology. At Orfium, they're engineering the most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms and music reporting solutions so that whenever music is played in the world, they're working behind the scenes to track it, deliver the data and help creators, rights holders and media companies track, report and monetize usage.
