MuseOS

The founder wanted a US-based partner to build a new music platform at a lower cost and faster pace than a traditional agency — a trusted creative ecosystem made concrete through music distribution, rights, community, and sync-placement opportunities.

Artists face fragmented workflows for distributing music, protecting their work, tracking usage, and collecting payment. The founder also saw an opportunity to connect artists with industry professionals seeking music for films, television, games, and other media.

The goal: bring the artist journey into one platform, from uploading and protecting a song to finding ways to distribute and monetize it.

I served as Solutions Architect and AI Solutions Architect, working directly with the owner on business needs, the solution plan, and priorities. I structured the work with my engineers and kept the owner involved through regular progress updates and delivered outputs.

The engagement included the website, branding and logo, SaaS design, development, and a prioritized product roadmap.

Today, an artist can register, create an avatar, and participate in the community. The wider intended journey is to upload work, manage rights and metadata, distribute songs, and pursue monetization. For sync placements, artists and industry professionals would connect around music needed for television, film, games, and other productions. These broader workflows remain in development.

The repository contains the product, the marketing website, and the API. Metadata validation is an important part of preparing releases for downstream distribution requirements. A NestJS backend and containerized delivery support API and AI-worker work.

The engagement covered the website, logo, application design, engineering, and a prioritized roadmap, delivered with consistent sprint output. My role was to connect the founder's large vision to structured development, while keeping the live community milestone distinct from the distribution and licensing vision.

The artist community entry experience is live. The broader platform remains in development — distribution, copyright workflows, and sync placements are planned or developing capabilities, not launched services.
