Why Jaxsta?
When it comes to music credits, it’s important to get them right. They represent the contributions of every dedicated professional who played a part in the creation of a piece of music – not just the big stars. And while once it was possible to flip open a vinyl record jacket or CD booklet and peruse the list of credits, as streaming and downloading services have replaced physical products, the details of those precious behind-the-scenes contributions have been largely lost.
How can Jaxsta add value for artists?
Abacuos: In many ways, one of the main ones is visibility. Jaxsta ensures that creators’ works can be easily found and that they will receive the credit they’re due. It will also assist them when seeking jobs and commissions, as their catalogue of works will be conveniently accessible under their profile, acting as an official resume or CV. Jaxsta will also assist in the discovery of new music, as users ‘deep dive’ and follow the works of various contributors to see what else they’ve been involved with. By working with Jaxsta, Artists can ensure that the information being distributed is official, helping not only with visibility in the marketplace but all-important accuracy.
Jaxsta is on a mission to create the world’s most comprehensive database of official music credits, collected from trusted sources such as record labels, publishers, distributors and many more. They collaborate with these valued partners to ensure that the people who work on the music everyone loves to get credit where credit is due. It’s a journey – they’ll always be ingesting more and more credits to make sure that Jaxsta is the ultimate destination for trusted, official music information.
Jaxsta received releases' metadata from all territories and regions.
