The MLC presents Distributor Unmatched Recordings Portal (DURP) Demo

Join Dae Bogan, The MLC’s Head of Third-Party Partnerships for a demo and industry update on the Distributor Unmatched Recordings Portal (DURP). The DURPenables eligible independent distributors to gain visibility into unmatched royalties that relate to streams of sound recordings they have distributed, which The MLC may have unclaimed digital audio mechanical royalties accruing.  Since its launch in 2022, the DURP has played a pivotal role in identifying and distributing hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties to music creators globally thanks to the efforts of independent music distributors seeking ways to add value to its services to artists and labels.   Now with over 70 distributor partners representing over 2.8 million sound recordings, the DURP has become an integral part of The MLC’s data and outreach strategy.

Dae Bogan Wins Maestro of Metadata Award at Bizzy Awards during Music Biz 2024

Tonight, I won the highest honor that one can achieve in my profession, the Maestro of Metadata Award at the Bizzy Awards put on by the Music Business Association.

I am so honored to be recognized by my peers in an industry in which I’ve worked incredibly hard to consistently align my passion for music creators’ rights with a curiosity for technology and innovation in a way that creates a global impact benefiting historically underrepresented music creators. Having never worked for a major label or major publisher, every inch of progress that I’ve achieved in my career has been earned by an unwavering commitment to independent music creators and rightsholders.

I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with my colleagues at The Mechanical Licensing Collective and the greater music industry to put the livelihoods of music creators front and center in my work.

Thank you Music Biz for such an honor.

Dae Bogan to Join Panel On New Markets & Innovation In The Music Industry at Music Biz 2024

I am looking forward to participating on the panel “10X: How New Markets & Innovation Can Help The Music Industry Grow Tenfold” at this year’s Music Biz in Nashville.

Panel Description: The under monetization of music has become a recurring narrative in today’s industry, with economists, technologists, investors and rightsholders excited about its opportunity for growth. Figures from Goldman Sachs state that by 2030, the music industry will be worth $50.1bn annually, whilst commentators in the creative industries point to music’s peers in videogames (estimated at over $340 billion), TV and film (jointly estimated at over $280 billion) to understand the potential for copyright exploitation. Radical, IP-centric innovation is the answer to closing this gap and fulfilling our potential. The panel will discuss how to propel the industry’s revenues to unprecedented heights, finding new uses for under-exploited copyrights and developing new business models, licensing processes and pricing strategies to present these opportunities to customers. It will also examine the important data engineering groundwork that needs to take place to facilitate this in terms of standards-based, high quality, timely metadata from rightsholders.

Moderated by Chantal Epp, Founder & CEO, ClicknClear

• Dae Bogan, Head of Third-Party Partnerships, The MLC

Celebrating 1 Year In Colombia, 4 Years With The MLC, And Announcing Music Biz 2024 Panel

May 1 🎉

Today marks the one year anniversary since I officially moved to Medellin, Colombia 🇨🇴(May 1, 2023) and 4 years since I joined The Mechanical Licensing Collective 🎼 as its Head of Third-Party Partnerships (May 1, 2020).

I am proud of having built a small sense of community here in Medellin with care and intention while simultaneously expanding the impact of my work in the global music industry, particularly by spearheading grassroots outreach initiatives in Latin America and by developing The MLC’s Distributor Unmatched Recordings Portal aka The DURP (www.themlc.com/durp). The DURP has had a direct positive impact on the livelihoods of hundreds of independent artists around the world 🌎 by empowering independent music distributors with data transparency and insights into the music publishing sector.

As a result of this work, I am proud to be named a finalist in the Maestro of Metadata category for this years Music Business Association’ Bizzy Awards and I look forward to joining industry colleagues in Nashville in two weeks for the #MusicBiz2024 conference and the Bizzy Awards dinner.
