How To Hack The Music Industry Mar 09, 2023

with Scott Cohen

Tune in and find out why fractional ownership is the ultimate growth hack for the music industry.

Audio Talks host Oisin Lunny met music industry digital pioneer and firestarter Scott Cohen on location at ESNS in Groningen, Netherlands to talk about the revolutionary idea behind his new company JKBX.

The idea: Revolutionizing the ownership of royalties by creating a platform - JKBX - that offers fans, retail investors, and music lovers the opportunity to invest in music royalties at scale and in a regulated marketplace.
