When Farah Allen and company created The Labz, they were out to solve the various problems that plagued self-publishing musicians and collaborators. “20.5 billion dollars are wasted every year because artists are not doing their songwriting documentation,” Farah Allen explains, “They’re not claiming themselves as the owner so they don’t get paid and they don’t get royalties, which last forever.”
“This is why we created the Labz, a music collaboration platform that helps song creators easily protect their work in real-time. Through Blockchain technology, we publicize your newly created work and make it known to the world.”
The Labz, one of our newest Dropkick partners, aims to integrate documentation while artists focus on what they love to do, write and make music. Consider The Labz a sharing service, “like dropbox, but for creating music specifically,” The Labz allows artists to upload their own tracks, but also create tracks with others. After completing a track, The Labz will verify with the creators their percentage of contribution, and from there, the copyright form is completed automatically.
The Labz not only watermarks your and lyrics automatically, it gives you the ability to track everywhere your music is being heard. The Labz uses blockchain technology to track your plays and exposure placing them into an easily searchable database for your convenience.“The Labz is a music collaboration platform that helps song creators easily protect their work in real-time.”

The Labz also presents itself as a marketing tool, allowing artists a platform to easily and safely sell their music for promotional use with IP protection automatically built in.
