Daddy Kev Launches AI Music Contract App
Daddy Kev, the founder of Low End Theory and esteemed figure in the music industry, has recently introduced a cutting-edge AI-powered application named musiclawyer.ai. This innovative tool is designed to assist artists in navigating the often complex world of music contracts and royalty audits, providing a free resource for identifying potential issues in recording and royalty agreements. The platform, which is currently in BETA, supports document uploads in multiple languages including English, Japanese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and French, and is capable of analyzing texts for errors or red flags.
Leveraging advanced AI technologies such as ChatGPT and Gemini, musiclawyer.ai offers a robust solution for the analysis of lengthy contracts. Notably, it incorporates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to accurately extract text from images or scanned documents, a feature highlighted by Daddy Kev, a Grammy Award-winning audio engineer and record executive, for its flawless performance.
Although Daddy Kev emphasizes that musiclawyer.ai should not replace professional legal advice, he envisions the app as an invaluable tool for independent artists who may not have the resources to hire an attorney. The application aims to provide clarity and insight, helping users to identify issues in their DistroKid statements and other royalty audit situations which often rely on flawed data from labels or distributors.
In addition to musiclawyer.ai, Daddy Kev has also announced Spotstats, another new app in BETA that focuses on providing artists with detailed analytics on their Spotify streaming data. Unlike musiclawyer.ai, Spotstats does not utilize AI but instead relies on Python-based statistical modules to offer forecasts on streaming revenue. This tool, initially developed for internal use at Alpha Pup, Daddy Kev’s record label, is touted as a pioneering stream forecasting app that can also visualize music streaming data in 3D.
Both musiclawyer.ai and Spotstats represent significant advancements in the utilization of technology to empower artists and provide transparency in the music industry. These tools reflect Daddy Kev’s ongoing commitment to supporting artists through innovative solutions, offering new ways to navigate the complexities of music distribution and compensation.
