Troy Carter和Suzy Ryoo的音乐技术初创公司Q＆A成立了软件集团Venice Innovation Labs

由业内人士Troy Carter（Lady Gaga的第一任经理）和Suzy Ryoo（Carter的长期合作者）共同创立的Q＆A是一项针对音乐行业的新兴开发技术，已通过名为Venice Innovation Labs的部门推出了一套新的软件产品。

该公司在一份声明中说，这些新工具旨在帮助录制唱片公司的Beta测试歌曲，管理艺术家并轻松高效地发行音乐。

新部门的第一个发行版本是StreamRate，它可以在新歌曲发行之前对其进行情感分析；威尼斯唱片公司（Venice For Labels）跟踪不同艺术家之间的分配和付款，管理和监视音乐发行，并帮助唱片厂跟踪他们的名册。

该公司还通过由北美的雷·库尔兹卡（Ray Kurzeka）和英国的马特·奥特（Matt Ott）领导的战略营销和咨询“高级服务”团队提供人性化的服务。

“技术正在迅速改变音乐的消费方式，但我们行业的基础设施仍然服务不足。我们一直在静悄悄地构建标签喜欢的漂亮直观的工具，以及移动针头的服务。 Q＆A总裁Suzy Ryoo表示：“我们的愿景是创建一个真正的社区，以赋予杰出的艺术家及其每天支持的唱片公司的权力。

Q&A, a startup developing tech for the music industry co-founded by industry insiders Troy Carter (Lady Gaga’s first manager) and Suzy Ryoo (Carter’s longtime collaborator), has launched a new suite of software products through a division called Venice Innovation Labs.

The new tools are designed to help record labels beta test songs, manage artists and distribute music easily and efficiently, the company said in a statement.

The first releases from the new division are StreamRate, which provides sentiment analysis of new songs before they’re released; and Venice For Labels, which tracks splits and payments among different artists, manages and monitors music distribution, and helps labels keep track of their rosters.

The company is also providing a human touch through a strategic marketing and advisory “Premium Services” team led by Ray Kurzeka in North America and Matt Ott in the U.K.

“Technology is rapidly changing the way music is consumed, yet our industry’s infrastructure remains underserved. We’ve been quietly building beautiful and intuitive tools that labels will love, as well as services that move the needle. Our vision is to create an authentic community to empower brilliant artists and the labels that support them daily,” said Suzy Ryoo, president of Q&A.
