Business Side of Music

Did you know that 70% to 75% of businesses today don’t know that they’re not supposed to be using consumer services such as Pandora or Spotify to play music in their business establishments? That’s over four million businesses in the United States alone. Having a license from just ASCAP, BMI, GMR or SESAC will not cover all the songs on their playlists. There has to be a more inclusive and overall encompassing way to go about ensuring that the music you’re playing in your restaurant or store is legally covered. Artists, along with rights holders of music are leaving 5 to 10 times of what they would earn in a traditional streaming service by not ensuring that they’re getting paid for their music being played in a commercial environment.

There has to be a way to educate not only the businesses, but also the rights owners of the music for such endeavors. Enter Lisa Farris.

Lisa Farris is the CMO of the company “Soundtrack Your Brand”, which is a B2B Company based out of Stockholm Sweden, providing . She is a graduate of Rutgers University, a former employee of the Recording Academy, Music Marketing Network, and Universal Music Group. Sountrack Your Brand provides over 90 million tracks, building playlists designed for the business, based on the demographics of your customers.
