San Francisco\/Zurich <\/b>\u2014 Music tech startup <\/span>Nebula<\/b>, one of the<\/span> 200 most promising early-stage startups in the world <\/span><\/i>according to TechCrunch, has partnered with <\/span>Supply Chain Music<\/b>, the distribution company founded by EMPIRE Founder\/CEO Ghazi, to launch a new approach to music distribution: monetizing music before releasing on streaming platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

For most musicians, the<\/span> current streaming model makes it difficult to earn a living. <\/b>Under traditional systems, artists often have to wait months after a song is released to see any profit, and even then, the payouts can be very small. This leaves many creators struggling to fund their next project or pay for marketing. <\/span>Nebula and Supply Chain are solving this<\/b> by allowing artists to get paid at the start of the creative process, rather than only at the very end.<\/span><\/p>\n

This collaboration expands on a successful <\/span>partnership between Nebula and Ghazi<\/span><\/a> that began in 2023. By integrating Nebula\u2019s marketplace, which turns music into an investment asset, directly into the Supply Chain Music infrastructure, the two companies are realizing a shared vision for the future of the music industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that sharing music should be a built-in part of the user experience, not a separate or difficult step,\u201d<\/span><\/i> said Stephen White, CPO of Supply Chain Music.<\/b> \u201cWe are excited to work with Nebula to add Supply Chain\u2019s distribution capabilities to their service, and take advantage of our global distribution network.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is more than just standard music distribution,” <\/span><\/i>said Yamen Hawit, Nebula Founding Member and CPO<\/b>. <\/span>“When superfans own a share of a song, they are more motivated to help promote the artist and expand their distribution reach. This creates a much better financial model for everyone in the music industry including the fan.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This partnership ends the long wait for streaming payouts. By using Nebula\u2019s marketplace and Supply Chain\u2019s distribution network,<\/span> artists can make upfront revenue from fans before a song releases to streaming platforms. <\/b>This provides upfront cash without the trap of debt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
