About us

Because music has value

Every song carries emotion, identity, and authorship worth honoring. Metadata is how we keep that story intact, from the artist to the listener.

Great metadata creates value on both sides of the stream

What better music metadata makes possible

A rich listening experience

Richer credits, fuller lyrics, sharper stories: metadata that turns every play into a discovery.

Protected music value

We link recordings, works, and contributors so credit (and revenue) reach the right people across every platform.

Our Approach

Protecting the people who make music, and building the connections that carry their story from studio to stream.

Championing artists

The value of music starts with the artists who create it. Every track has a human story, and we do our best to keep the creators seen, credited, and respected. Even as AI blurs the lines.

Connecting the dots

We weave artists, recordings, works, credits, and identifiers into one living fabric: the connecting tissue that keeps the right story attached to every piece of music, wherever it goes.

Music Story has been cooking up clean, enriched data at the heart of the metadata kitchen since 2008. We don't just observe global trends from a distance; we cook in the friction of rights, culture, and industry until the know-how is baked into the catalog we serve.
