MusicTeam Joins Forces With Connex to End the Chaos of Label Delivery for Artists
The all-in-one platform for music makers now lets artists working with labels deliver their tracks directly to their point of contact at major companies like UMG, thanks to a partnership with A&R service Connex.
When an artist wraps up a project and it’s time to hand it off to a label, life can get complicated. Delivery elements are scattered across too many communication channels, from texts to emails to spreadsheets. Along the way, important information gets lost--and that can mean someone doesn’t get credited or paid.
It doesn’t have to be this way. MusicTeam has transformed this scattershot approach with its latest feature, powered by A&R management service Connex, which partners with UMG’s labels, among others. Together, they allow artists, producers, engineers, and managers who are working with a label to gather everything into a single, simple package and deliver it with the press of a button, making sure no credit gets lost and everything is in the right place.
MusicTeam has been quietly building one of the most logical, comprehensive, all-in-one platforms for both indie and signed music makers to create and manage their music. Embracing everything from file storage to metadata management, from online collaboration to distribution, MusicTeam allows creators to tame the chaos inherent in the creative process by ensuring often neglected details come together as the music unfolds, not afterward.
Music Project Delivery, the latest element in this expanding artist toolkit, ties together many of MusicTeam’s existing features to make project handoffs smooth. It enables creators to capture metadata at any point in their creative process. Using specialized algorithms, MusicTeam can distinguish between track versions and determine if the new version is merely a matter of minor EQ or mixing changes--or the result of a major overhaul. A project team can toggle between versions as creative decisions are made. Storing all the files in a single place, MusicTeam helps music makers ensure the right people get the credit and pushes all the metadata and audio files directly to the label with the single click of a button, thanks to its integration with Connex. Once submitted, music makers can track timestamped delivery, compare metadata, and feel confident that everything required is in the label’s hands.
“The music industry has always struggled with one question: who did what?” explains MusicTeam founder and President Chloe Dagenais. “We’ve built MusicTeam with self-releasing, self-managed artists and producers in mind, but we also know that many independent music makers have hybrid lives, with some projects needing to go to a label. With Music Project Delivery, we help music makers capture the credits at the point of creation and with Connex’s support, we have created this bridge that connects the creative process (and who did what) directly to the labels.”
“Major labels have trusted us to help them turn what has been a real pain point - delivery of complete and accurate metadata - into a simple process. We’re excited to make MusicTeam one of our first partners in music project delivery, to allow end-to-end support of the creative process, right down to the moment of label submission.” - MD of Connex, Danid Campbell
