Artificial Intelligence is About to Disrupt the Music Industry -- Your Industry is Next.

From its first incarnation in 2000, to its online launch in 2005, up through today, Pandora [Music] set-out to differentiate itself -- a music discovery service hand-built on a scientific and proprietary matching engine. In 2000, 80% of the music industry's revenues came from less than 3% of the releases [2]. Tim Westergren, a musician and composer, saw an untapped market opportunity to bridge this gap -- changing the music industry paradigm and dynamics between artists and consumers. Tim saw an opportunity to match undiscovered artists and their music to listeners who would enjoy their sound. Matching would create value for the artists, listeners and the intermediary facilitating this process.
