Quincy Jones-backed emotional AI startup Musimap acquired by Utopia Music - Music Business Worldwide
If Switzerland-headquartered tech company Utopia Music wasn't previously on your radar, it definitely will be after this month. At the start of September, the firm made the high-profile appointment of Downtown's former EVP of Business Development, Roberto Neri, as Chief Operating Officer, followed by other big hires including Paul Gathercole as Chief Data Officer, Åsa Carild as Head of Platform, and Paul Stuart as Chief Legal Officer. Now, the firm, which music industry sources tell us has raised tens of millions in investor capital to date, has acquired Quincy Jones-backed emotional data enrichment company, Musimap. Musimap's automated engines that power music discovery, emotional profiling and metadata enrichment. The firm's APIs use proprietary AI to generate emotional metadata for clients.
