Technology has always shaped music and how we consume it. But over the last decade, the pace has accelerated faster than ever. Platforms evolve, listening habits shift, and the industry keeps moving.
“You have to constantly adapt to an ever-changing landscape.” – @brianzisook , Co-Founder of @audiomack
Before @audiomack became one of the world’s leading music platforms, it was years of grinding behind the scenes. Multiple jobs. 10–12 hour days. Building with no guarantee it would ever pay off.
“As an entrepreneur, you have to be ready to take on problems yourself, solve them yourself, and get stuff out the door.” – @dcponte , Co-Founder of @audiomack
A huge thank you to RBC Foundation, Slaight Family Foundation and FACTOR Canada for their continued support.

@brianzisook & @dcponte from @audiomack breaking down one of the most overlooked parts of releasing music… metadata.
“Metadata has a outsized impact in a variety of ways. Who you’re music is being surfaced to both at a DSP and for what audience, and it also impacts whether or not you’re going to get paid.”
Most artists focus on the song but forget the information behind it. Genres, sub-genres, credits, and descriptors all help platforms like @audiomack understand where your music belongs.
The more accurate the metadata, the better chance your music has of reaching the right curators and the right listeners 🎧🌎
Small details. Big impact.
A huge thank you to RBC Foundation, Slaight Family Foundation and FACTOR Canada for their continued support.
