If you haven’t been keeping up with music news, Jesse Neo is an Australian singer, producer and songwriter. Since 2017, he has been self-releasing EDM tracks. Upon launching his first track, Jesse immediately began being headlined in several big websites, including The Huffington Post and NBC-affiliated news channels.
His songs have been played in hundreds of clubs around the world including the US and Europe and has also been aired on radio. Eventually with that, new opportunities came. Record labels and YouTube channels reached out to him, asking if he could create beats for them too.
When speaking out about his music-making process, Jesse said that his inspiration can come from anywhere. In the past, he has been very inspired by Mozart and Vivaldi. He'll mix them up with flavors from David Guetta, Carl Cox and Skrillex for a distinctive feel.
However, a few years ago, he realized that there was room for new technological innovation in the music industry. For example, he observed that every day, artists that he came across were also on the phone for a considerable amount of time speaking to clients about their next albums, the deal, how to move audio files, and so on. What if there was a platform that could handle all these technical things?
So Jesse launched his music and collaboration platform called Gemtracks earlier this year to buy and sell beats. The beats can be bought by singers and labels to put their vocals on before they are released. Based on current figures, rap beats are the most popular.
To further prove his point, Gemtracks can also be used to automatically transfer ownership and copyright between beat producers and buyers. For example, once a beat is sold, it will be automatically removed from the platform so that no one else would be able to but it, and the copyright will be given to the buyer. Due to the simplicity of the application, the price for each beat could go up to $500.
Many of Jesse's peers in the music business were surprised by the platform. As a result, they urged him to turn it into a public marketplace for musicians to offer their services as a side hustle.
Some of the producers that have signed up to the website include Milana Leybovich, IYFFE, Beowülf, Taylor Carroll, and many other producers that have worked with companies such as Disney, Sony, Warner and Universal.
“I also want to take this time to inspire everyone interested in getting a career in music to sign up to Gemtracks, including those in North Carolina,” said the Australian. “There is a segment of posts about how to make music and a networking forum to get support.”
Via Gemtracks, Jesse has proven that technical advancement is a crucial aspect of the music business because it will continue to keep the music industry limitless and competitive. If this is something that I interests you, make sure you go to Gemtracks now to find some beats for sale.
