The team
Built by music technology insiders.
Decades of combined experience across music technology, distribution, and African digital markets.
Griot connects music rightsholders to music apps through a single verified pipeline. Rights cleared, fraud blocked, revenue ready, at Pan-Africa scale.
Every platform that touches music inherits the same four problems. None of them are yours to solve alone.
Every unverified track is a copyright claim waiting to land. Without a rights layer, the exposure sits directly on your platform.
Ingestion, DDEX pipelines, CMS portals, metadata systems. Building it in-house takes years and a dedicated engineering team.
Platforms run disconnected. No shared catalogue, no linked assets, no unified royalty reporting. Revenue bleeds through every gap.
Every new market means re-integrating every rightsholder again. The overhead compounds with each territory you add.
Griot sits between content providers and consumption platforms: a single neutral pipeline anyone can connect through.
Everything between an uploaded master and a clean, compliant delivery, running before content ever reaches your platform.
Every track is verified against global rights databases before delivery. Nothing touches your platform without a clear rights chain: the work the griot has always done, now in code.
AI fingerprinting eliminates duplicate content across platforms. One master record. Zero redundancy.
Stream-manipulation detection catches bot-driven plays before they hit your royalty ledger. Quarantine before impact.
Every AI-generated or AI-assisted track tagged to global standards, compliant before regulators mandate it.
Official music videos transcoded to any broadcast spec. Multiple formats auto-generated from a single upload.
Griot earns nothing from distribution. We don't compete with your content partners. We're the trusted infrastructure they all connect through. A clean antitrust position, open to all.
Pan-Africa scale is our baseline, not our roadmap. Every feature, including regional rights complexity, was designed for this market from day one.
This team has shipped music infrastructure before. We speak DDEX, CWR, streaming fraud, and the commercial realities of the market. You get a partner who knows the terrain.
