UK-based Beatchain has partnered with Digital supply chain and marketing company FUGA to allow its users to distribute content to music streaming services through its technology.
Artists can upload unlimited tracks for $1.99 per month.
Beatchain is data-driven platform that claims to be “revolutionizing discovery, marketing, and promotion in the music industry”.
The company says that its full direct to artist platform will launch in early 2020.
Beatchain, led by Ben Mendoza, offers artists and their representatives AI-driven services which include: automated fan growth on social platforms; A&R insights; social media management; event promotion; and real-time online ad bidding.
The Beatchain team consists of behavioral economists, Ph.D. data scientists, artificial intelligence and machine learning experts and senior music industry professionals.
The company says that its technology is currently being used by artists including Duke, Mike Mayfieldand and Bang Bang Romeo in Europe and Motley Crue, Just Loud, Bleeker, Romes and Cory Mark in the US.
In December 2018, Beatchain partnered with independent music company Eleven Seven Label Group (E7LG) and Doc McGhee’s McGhee Entertainment to help both companies grow the fan bases and engagement for select developing artists.
“We pride ourselves on being a leader for today’s digital music revolution and we are happy to help more artists get their voices heard.”

“We are enthusiastic about our partnership with Beatchain,” said David Driessen, MD FUGA Americas / Director Sales & Client Services.
“We pride ourselves on being a leader for today’s digital music revolution and we are happy to help more artists get their voices heard.”
“Our ultimate vision is to use today’s most advanced technology, along with data and analytics, to give independent artists the ability to manage their entire careers, without a major label deal or expensive promoters.”
Ben Mendoza, Beatchain
Ben Mendoza, co-founder and President of Beatchain added: “Our ultimate vision is to use today’s most advanced technology, along with data and analytics, to give independent artists the ability to manage their entire careers, without a major label deal or expensive promoters.
“Distribution is a key component of implementing that objective. There are many services on the market that allow artists to publish their music directly but none of them offer the full suite of services that Beatchain will.”Music Business Worldwide
