MUZIKA - Blockchain Based Music Ecosystem

The Music industry is a huge part of any person's life, because it has been set at the centre of our culture. Three things are clear about today’s music industry: The consumption of music is expanding at the greatest rate in history and from the most portals ever imagined, the cost of producing music is decreasing, and the number of artists creating and seeking to expose their work and develop careers through the Internet has increased dramatically. As demand grows and Internet piracy wanes, ad-supported and subscription models will generate unprecedented revenues that will surpass even the best of past earnings. And, many astute predict a steep rise in business activity and trade earnings by the end of the decade. Here is the deal, i will be introducing you to a visionary project that come to life in the form of ICO's which is Muzika and they are set to revolutionize the music industry by establishing an independent and true digital music ecosystem that would eliminate unnecessary intermediaries, empower musicians and consumers, decentralize distribution power, and restore the balance of economic distribution among market participants.

MUZIKA PLATFORM

Muzika is a music blockchain project, which has been built on an existing business and global music platforms with millions of users and fans across hundreds of nations, plus music artists from the globe, we aim at revolutionizing the digital music industry with the creation of a new digital music ecosystem. Muzika project is led by Forbes-awarded & Informatics Olympiad team members and endorsed by some of the most influential investors in South Korea and Asia. The token economy will be backed up by ever-growing population of community users and fans.

Muzika aims to lessen or remove profits from distributor, producers, and platform that will make music artist to gain more profits. Muzika is a free to use platform for music artist, “free” means no commissions or profit will be deducted from musicians that’s why musicians will get 90% of the profit using Muzika. Unlike other ICO’s they will start with proven service just they will improve it the platform behind Muzika is Mapiacompany Inc. the biggest and first online piano music platform in South Korea with more than two million users. It’s a good start since forty percent of South Korean’s are music streaming subscriber, highest among all nation.

PROBLEMS MUZIKA SEEKS TO SOLVE

Musicians and fans are the real value creators in today’s music industry,but they are not properly rewarded for their value creation.

Musicians are starving. Everyone listens to music, more people pay for music, but artists are still not making money.
Fans (that’s us) are still pigeonholed as consumers, though we are the ones who actually make super-stars! We devote our time and effort to vote, make cover songs, go viral, and even write fictions for our favorite artists, but no one rewards our effort and devotion.
Intermediaries (distributors and platforms) are making excessive profit for one time and unsophisticated tasks of ‘transferring’ the ready-made values.
Muzika will bring innovation to the value chain in digital music industry: We will reform how value is created and captured by various players within the industry. We will return rewards to those who create the value, from those who merely transfer the value, while recovering the share lost from digital piracy through blockchain technology.

THE UNIQUENESS OF MUZIKA

Previous Attempts Failed to Secure Large Userbase: Previous music blockchain projects have overlooked the importance of a large userbase to achieve widescale adoption. These projects have demonstrated that it is possible to give a higher commission rate to artists for their work using Smart Contract transactions. However, for artists, the low commission rate offered from traditional music streaming apps that had huge userbases were more attractive than blockchain apps using Smart Contract transactions. Case in point, a 10% commission of $1,000 from iTunes was preferable to 90% commission of $1 from a Smart Contract transaction.

Muzika Will Create A New Economy To Incentivize The Users: Muzika aims to provide musicians the best of both worlds: a higher commission rate for their creative content and a strong userbase. Muzika has developed a strong system for incentivizing fans to contribute to the Muzika ecosystem. These incentives will build the userbase necessary for Muzika to provide both higher commissions to artists along with the mass userbase of traditional music streaming sites. The network effect from a mass userbase will be the key to developing an autonomous, self-sustaining ecosystem. In other words, Muzika can provide musicians with 90% of $1,000.

We Have Done It Before: Muzika has already made significant achievements towards the development of sustainable solution to inefficiencies in the digital music industry. In 2015, co-founders of Muzika saw an opportunity in the online instrumental music industry and started online instrumental music platform Mapiacompany. In just over 3 years, Mapiacompany has become the #1 global instrumental music platform with over 2 million users. Muzika will build upon this existing userbase and community.
