Griot gives music apps, streaming services, and telcos clean, licensed content and accurate monthly royalty statements. You build the app and grow the audience. We handle the music.
Take one or both. Each stands on its own, and they work best together.
Clean, licensed content, ready to stream.
Every track is rights-checked, deduplicated, tagged, and screened for fraud before it reaches your platform.
Explore supply chain → 02Accurate monthly statements. Disputes handled.
Every rightsholder gets a clear statement every month, with every number traceable. Their questions and disputes come to Griot, not your team.
Explore royalty services →Supply chain knows exactly what was delivered. Royalties knows exactly what was played. Together, every stream ties back to a licensed track and an accurate statement.
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, royalty accounting. Building it in-house takes years and a dedicated team.
Usage from every app and billing system has to become an accurate statement for every rightsholder, every month. Mistakes surface years later, and they compound.
Every new market means re-integrating every rightsholder again. The overhead compounds with each territory you add.
Griot sits between rightsholders and platforms. Content flows out clean and licensed. Usage flows back as accurate statements. One neutral partner 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 turns your usage and revenue into a clear monthly statement for every rightsholder, and handles their questions and disputes. Run by a team with decades of royalty experience at global scale.
Every month, usage and revenue become a clear statement for every rightsholder. Totals tie back to the revenue you collected, and every line traces to its source. Nothing is final until you approve it.
Rightsholder questions and disputes come to Griot, not your team. Each one is tracked with dated evidence until it is resolved, and you keep the final say.
Suspect streams are flagged and their earnings held back until cleared. Bots do not get paid, and real artists do not lose out.
A full audit trail behind every number. Any statement can be reproduced exactly, years later.
You collect the revenue and pay rightsholders directly. Statements, reports, and history live in a secure portal.
The cost is not the team. It is what wrong statements cost.
Label disputes, audit claims, restatements, catalogs pulled from your service. Royalty errors surface years later, and they compound.
Griot earns nothing from distribution and never touches royalty funds. 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 and run royalties at scale before. We speak DDEX, CWR, streaming fraud, royalty accounting, and the commercial realities of the market. You get a partner who knows the terrain.
Decades of combined experience across music technology, distribution, royalties, and African digital markets.
We're working with a select group of early partners on supply chain, royalties, or both. Tell us about your platform.
