Boost Collective

We aim to revolutionize the way independent artists distribute and promote their music. By leveraging AI and the latest React technologies, the project addresses the critical challenges of visibility and engagement that artists face in the digital era. Patrick will develop an AI-powered metadata form and an analytics dashboard to provide artists with actionable insights for their promotion strategies. Ray will focus on creating an advanced system for fair royalty distribution and an AI tool for generating custom cover art.

Utilizing Agile methodologies, Jira, and Trello for efficient project management, the initiative is set to deliver advanced tools that simplify distribution, enhance promotional efforts, and ensure equitable royalty splits. Running from May to September 2024, it will not only introduce technological innovations but also offer extensive documentation, user feedback analysis, and a roadmap for future enhancements.

This project represents a significant step forward for Boost Collective, positioning it as a leader in music distribution and promotion. It promises to empower Canadian artists with the resources they need to succeed, fostering economic and cultural growth within Canada’s music industry.
