Melodie, an innovative Australian-owned music licensing platform, is on a mission to connect local composers with global content creators, providing unlimited access to copyright-safe music for individuals, businesses, and enterprise platforms. With more than half of the composer roster being local, Melodie is currently focusing on placing more Australian music in Australian content. Part of their latest initiative includes an ‘AUS’ button that can be activated on the platform, making it easier for producers and content creators to filter and find tracks composed by Australian artists – supporting local talent and showcasing the richness and diversity of Australian music.
Another of Melodie’s key priorities is to connect more First Nations composers with licensing and music synchronisation opportunities. Over the past five years, Melodie has witnessed a growing demand from clients to licence authentic music from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. In response, Melodie has just announced a First Nations Music Initiative, making a commitment to investing a minimum of $25,000 annually in the development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists for sync opportunities via their platform. This commitment reflects Melodie’s strong belief in promoting and empowering all artists, and their dedication to creating real opportunities and revenue streams for these artists to succeed in the music industry.
Melodie takes pride in representing a roster of local artists who are making significant contributions on a global scale. This includes renowned ARIA award-winning composers such as Helena Czajka (ARIA winner for Bluey) and Brendan Gallagher (ARIA winner for Jimmy Little’s Messenger and Karma County), as well as First Nations talents like Nooky, a hip hop artist from the Yuin Nation, and James Henry, an acclaimed singer/songwriter, musician, and recording engineer. By providing a platform for these talented artists to showcase their music, Melodie can continue to elevate their voices and promote their unique musical perspectives and talents to a wider audience.
By integrating cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced music search algorithms that identify emotional attributes within a music track, Melodie aims to streamline the process of finding and licensing music, making it easier for producers and editors to discover music that perfectly fits their creative vision.
As Melodie continues to pave the way for the music industry in Australia, their commitment to promoting Australian music remains unwavering. With their innovative approach to music licensing, their extensive catalogue of original compositions, and their dedication to investing in the development of new talent, Melodie is positioning itself as a leading force in the music industry, creating meaningful opportunities for Australian artists and content creators alike.
