歌手Kesha推出新创企Smash,旨在为音乐创作者打造一个社区平台,连接并保护他们的权益。Smash对标“音乐界的LinkedIn”或“Fiverr式市场”,但更侧重于保障创作者的权利,让他们保留对其作品的所有权。Kesha曾经历过与制作人的法律纠纷,这促使她致力于帮助其他音乐人避免类似的困境。Smash由Kesha本人及其CTO Alan Cannistraro(曾任职于苹果和Facebook)共同打造,致力于构建一个开放、协作的音乐创作生态系统。

🤝Smash的愿景是成为“音乐界的LinkedIn”或“Fiverr式市场”,但更注重保障艺术家的权益,确保他们能自由地创作。

💡Kesha曾经历过与制作人的法律纠纷,这促使她致力于帮助其他音乐人避免类似的困境,Smash的推出也源于此。

Kesha may have taken the dollar sign out of her name, but now, the singer is thinking about money again — not for herself, but to fund the seed round of her new startup, Smash.

According to Kesha’s Instagram post, Smash will be a “community-based platform to connect and protect music creators,” which aligns with the mission of her new eponymous record label, which she announced last year.

The 38-year-old chart-topper has always been more than a glitter-clad party girl singing about brushing her teeth with Jack Daniel’s. Beneath her infectious 2010s pop music is a darker story — one in which she felt stripped of her power, both as an artist and a person, by a predatory record deal that she signed when she was a teenager.

After a traumatic public legal battle with her producer, Kesha now says that she is a “free woman,” and she’s making new music. Both her label, Kesha Records, and the app Smash seek to help others make music without compromising their creative rights.

“I want a place where artists and music makers of any kind can have community, they can collaborate, they can hire each other and retain all the rights to everything they create,” Kesha said in an interview with WIRED. “There’s no gatekeeping of contacts.”

She went on to describe the app as “LinkedIn for music creators,” or a “Fiverr-style marketplace.” The difference is that Smash plans to prioritize artists’ rights at every stage.

Kesha’s CTO on the project is Alan Cannistraro. He spent twelve years at Apple building some of the first iOS apps, then worked at Facebook, where he built the Year-In-Review feature. He left to start a social video platform called Rheo, which TechCrunch covered in 2016.
