“As a songwriter, you want to focus on creating all the time, that’s how great songs become,” Kevin Bacon, Chief Innovation Officer of Family in Music, who co-founded AWAL (Artists Without a Label) in 2004. , mentioned. “Our view is that technology has long been a part of music making and now we want to harness it to create modern tools that enable the modern songwriter to enhance their creative and business journey.”
Family in Music Managing Director Tim Delaney said, “There are a lot of incredibly creative and talented songwriters out there who just don’t fit into the traditional music industry model for a variety of reasons. Family in Music wants to empower and support them so they can grow creatively and give them our tools to guide them and help them thrive.
Family in Music founder Juka Hynynen said, “I started my music career as a songwriter and these tools are close to my heart. Securing the rights and proof of creation is the basis of everything.
