Funnel Music has established a disruptive financial and legal model for the creation and marketing of music which is a natural partner to the
latest developments in technology. Artist centric with an engaged professional community incentivized to work with new talent, this is major
shift in how artists careers are developed.

The Music Industry in booming, streaming is driving
Growth
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Scott Lavene“Sounds like an updated version of something that Stiff records would have released in the 70’s”
Steve Lamacq - BBC 6 Music
Problem
3
Outdated models keep the cost of taking
new artists to market unnecessarily high with
limited investment in early development.
Revenue is primarily focused on a few Global
artists such as Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran and
Adele.
Solution
The Funnel is a marketplace for artists and professionals powered by the
‘Shared Outcome Agreement’ (SOA)
The SOA offers a transparent and effective way of financing and nurturing new
& existing talent. Artists create their product at a fraction of traditional costs
supported by the quality of team they need. In return for a discounted fee,
professionals share in net revenues generated from rights created by the artist
in current and future projects, creating long term revenue streams from these
‘investments’.
A natural partner to technology and blockchain, the SOA provides a
solution which totally disrupts existing legal and financial structures,
creating an eco system to meet the demands of the artists, labels
and professionals in the developing digital landscape.
