Music Ally Focus #62: AWAL founder – and now Family In Music's CIO – Kevin Bacon explains how music metadata and blockchain tech can merge to allow songwriters to access data – and money – better.

We welcome Family In Music's chief innovation officer Kevin Bacon to talk about music metadata and blockchain tech. Kevin is no stranger to blockchain and web3 tech, having having been involved in early British blockchain startup Blockpool, which caused a stir when collaborating with Bjork in an early crypto-music experiment back in 2017. Before that, Kevin founded AWAL after a successful career as a record producer. He’s now chief innovation officer of Family In Music, a multi-faceted company for music creators, and which has just launched a platform called MgNTa – which he thinks will allow songwriters to collect money they would have otherwise missed, amongst other things.
