Dae Bogan Receives Maestro of Metadata Nomination for the 3rd Annual Bizzy Awards

I am honored to announce that I have been named a finalist in the Maestro of Metadata category for the 3rd annual Bizzy Awards presented by the Music Business Association for my work at The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) as Head of Third-Party Partnerships, particularly in spearheading the Data Quality Initiative (DQI) Partner Program and developing the Distributor Unmatched Recordings Portal (DURP) global initiative.

Through these programs, The MLC has engaged, and I’ve liaised with my close collaborators Raph Amselli, Helena Cook, and Derek Medeiros, over 80 technology companies and music distributors around the world to ensure the integrity of musical works copyright ownership data and to identify and onboard independent music creators and rights-holders to be paid U.S. digital audio mechanical royalties.

I would like to thank the Music Business Association for including me in the finalist pool among fellow industry data nerds and technologists who I’ve had the pleasure of working with in various capacities over the last 10 years.

The 3rd annual Bizzy Awards dinner will take place on Wednesday, May 15 at the JW Marriott Nashville as part of the Music Biz 2024 Conference.
