This white paper introduces Sound Legends Inc., a company that has invested considerable resources to successfully launch a global music platform with presence in all 195 countries worldwide. The Company provides a comprehensive suite of tools, services and products designed to allow independent artists around the world to be heard and to develop, exploit and protect their music assets. A full description of Sound Legends is embodied within this document. With the success of the Token sales described herein, we intend to migrate our entire platform and proprietary technology to a blockchain-based solution via a distributed ledger using Smart Contracts based on the Ethereum protocol. This evolved platform will give back the power to independent artists all around the world, enable them to go global, retain 100% of their revenues and royalties and protect their rights with a secure storage function provided by the Blockchain.

The music industry today is one of the hardest environments for independent, unsigned artists to showcase their talent and material in. We have come to an era where it is almost impossible for independent musicians to reach the masses, be discovered, and even more, to become a legend with their music. With the current conditions of the industry, only a few manage to translate their talents into success, but even when they make it, other daunting issues arise. Existing digital music streaming platforms, record labels, agents and other intermediaries receive the bigger cut, resulting in reduced income for the artists.

Even world-renowned artists such as Prince, Toni Braxton, Lil Wayne, George Michael, Billy Joel and even Michael Jackson suffered incredible difficulties in their relationships with their record labels, in some cases when they were just up-and-coming-artists and others after they had already become “Legends.” It is no surprise then, that unknown, independent artists face numerous challenges trying to navigate the music industry today. The U.S. Congress has recognized that the increasingly digital music industry badly needs reforms to rebalance the scales in favour of artists, having introduced four different pieces of music industry legislation recently that could increase royalty payments to music creators. But who knows when these initiatives will become law, or how effective they will actually be once they do.

Our mission with this white paper is to discuss the current situation for independent artists in the music industry and present a current solution to their biggest problems through Sound Legends’ integrated group of products, services and strategies all created and implemented by Sound Legends. The first section states our industry vision and the construction of the solution for the biggest challenges artists face. The second section presents the proposed blockchain architecture of our new platform, the development of the tokens created by Sound Legends and the specifications of the token offering. The third and final section provides an overview of the company, its team, strategies, and the developmental roadmap.

The Music Industry Problem

Independent artists comprise over 83 million individuals around the world. These artists struggle to disseminate their music outside of the confines of where they live and work. Even though they have jobs outside the industry to pay their bills, they spend their leisure time making music.They are passionate about their craft and want everyone to hear their creations. Commercial success - earning revenue and acclaim for their music is the ultimate goal. According to the market research and statistic portal, statista.com, the global music industry revenue is projected to be $51.5 Billion U.S. in 2018, a number that proves how economically significant the sector is.

Today the music industry is dominated by digital distribution and streaming services such as YouTube, Spotify, iTunes and over a hundred similar services that provide a way for artists to reach their audience. These unsigned, relatively obscure independent artists have the most interest in exploring and using these channels in hopes of being found. Once found, they need and want to protect their creative assets, their future income and royalties.

The Sound Legends mission is laser focused on the millions of hardworking, young independent artists from around the globe who are dreaming of being heard and discovered, earning a living from their own music, and with enough luck, becoming a legend. It is well known that independent artists struggle to get signed by a record label that will genuinely sponsor and invest in their future. Evolution through innovation in the music industry is sorely needed in order for artists to access the enhanced marketing processes and controls necessary for the complete solution to the issues independent artists face.

With Sound Legends (www.soundlegends.com) and its integrated suite of marketing, promotion, publishing and protection services poised to migrate to the blockchain, the time is now to empower independent musicians to emerge from their garages, showcase their talent, and finally achieve the long-awaited ‘’LEGENDARY’’ status.

The Solution

Independent artists seeking to place their music around the world deserve to have more control of their content, and the income they generate. Luckily, Sound Legends can now make this a reality.

Additionally, musicians using the platform can utilize our automated U.S. copyright submission service, our Band Publishing service, our Global Featured Artist service and earn additional money with our affiliate referral platform. All these services are fully explained below and can be purchased at www.soundlegends.com. With the success of the Token sales, the Company will proceed with the development and migration of the platform to the Blockchain, the cutting-edge technology that currently is shaping the world by changing the way people interact with each other. This includes peer to peer communication and transactions in an environment as disruptive as was the internet back in the ‘90s.

SOUND LEGENDS APPROACH

The approach of Sound Legends is to completely alter – for the better - the interaction between independent artists and the music industry. For this, the company has decided to focus on three crucial aspects of the industry: music distribution, music promotion, and music copyright protection.

Music Distribution

Sound Legends offers artists the opportunity to distribute all of their content in a repertory of over 150 different platforms. At the same time, it allows them to keep 100% of their royalties.

Sound Legends distributes artists’ music through the most popular digital music services around the world. Artists can sell and stream to over 150 digital outlets including iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play and Spotify. Musicians and bands can upload songs or even entire albums for a low annual fee. Artists can also track earnings and trending data on the Sound Legends dashboard.

Music Promotion

Sound Legends has developed a marketing service that allows artists to prominently present themselves in each of the 195 Sound Legends international country domains. Featured Artist status on our platform allows independent musicians to accelerate their careers by receiving top billing on the Sound Legends website, to be displayed in all the blogs and social media channels of the company. Featured Artists gain an outstanding position in the Sound Legends family, jumping them a step closer to a potential record deal with Sound Legends Records.

An artist has the choice of selecting any or all of the 7 continents, individually or combined, with a full global exposure offered at only $30 USD per year. A listener simply clicks on the musicians’ logo or image and it swiftly takes them to the artist fan page which Sound Legends provides. Here, the musician is in complete control of what’s presented about the artist, including songs, album drops, news, merchandise, concert info and much more. This service provides exceptional exposure to the global music landscape.

Music Protection

It’s not just about having your music exposed however. Artists need and deserve protection for the published music content they create. Sound Legends protects the musical works of independent artists by providing a fully automated and professional copyright service.

Currently the only way to fully protect an artist’s work is by registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office. There are multiple international conventions and agreements covering most countries which recognize the U.S. copyright laws. Sound Legends makes it easy by offering automated copyright registration services providing immediate protection at the moment music is uploaded to the platform and released to the world.

Sound Legends intends to migrate the copyright registration process to the open distributed ledger system called the blockchain. This allows any music asset to be stored securely and fully transparent for life. This decentralized technology fits perfectly with our cause of protecting musician rights on a worldwide basis.

Some of the major benefits of the Sound Legends music protection service include:• Submission of all materials according to the requirements of the U.S. Copyright Office • Certified Affidavit of Submission • Supply of registration documents and a secure storage of registered materials • Receipt emission documenting submission dates, titles, and name of registrar.

To understand how our innovative new platform works, it is necessary to start with the definition of blockchain. The Blockchain is a public register in which transactions between two users belonging to the same network are stored in a secure, verifiable and permanent way. The data relating to the transactions are saved inside cryptographic blocks, connected in a hierarchical manner in relation to each other. This creates an endless chain of data blocks – hence the name “blockchain” -- that allows you to trace and verify all the transactions you have ever made.

The primary function of a blockchain is, therefore, to certify transactions between people. In the case of Bitcoin, the blockchain serves to verify the exchange of cryptocurrency between two users, but it is only one of the many possible uses of this technological structure. In other sectors, for example, the blockchain can certify the exchange of shares of stock, operate in lieu of a notary and “validate” a contract, or ensure that votes cast online are secure and impossible to alter.

Why Blockchain is SafeOne of the greatest advantages of the blockchain is the high degree of security it guarantees. In fact, once a transaction is certified and saved within one of the data blocks in the chain, it can no longer be modified or tampered with. Each block consists of a pointer that connects it to the previous block, a timestamp that certifies the time at which the event actually took place and the transaction data.

These three elements ensure that each element of the blockchain is unique and immutable such that any request to modify the timestamp or the content of the block would change all subsequent blocks. This is because the pointer is created based on the data in the previous block, triggering a real chain reaction. In order for any alterations to happen, it would be necessary for a 50%-plus-one majority of the network to approve the change: a possible but hardly feasible operation, since the blockchain is distributed worldwide between and among millions of users.

Blockchain is a technology that has proven its own worth, but that doesn’t mean it has been applied everywhere that it could be. Blockchain is an incredibly versatile tool, capable of touching a wide array of diverse industries.

Sound Legends Adopts the Blockchain

Sound Legend’s revolutionary music technology platform, database management system and ecosystem is born of our vision of migrating to the blockchain in order to optimize digital rights management, payment transparency, licensing and monetization for our artist community. The power of the blockchain network provides the opportunity for Sound Legends to create a comprehensive digital rights management system that brings faster payment reconciliation. With the current Sound Legends platform laveraging a blockchain protocol, our system will provide for full transparent sharing and consumption of information in an automated way, offering universal transparency to artists, distributors and consumers. Blockchain offers several added values to the transactional procedures that occur throughout the music supply chain. With improved payment processes this can provide more information to artists about how their work is being consumed and exactly how they are being compensated. With a decentralized database of ownership rights, artists can license and monetize content in exciting new ways. Even small, relatively unknown artists will have a marketplace where they can sell their music and potentially license their work for a fee.

With this in mind, Sound Legends is committed to joining the blockchain revolution by offering its artists the chance to secure their content using this advanced technology, exploring its potential utilities, and opening its doors to what many experts have considered “The Blockchain Revolution’’.

In addition to the SL team, the Company has been aggressively completing its global search for additional best-in-class individuals and Corporations who are eager to join the Sound Legends team to assist in rapidly developing the technology infrastructure for its migration to the Blockchain along with the development of its Sound Legends “The Game” VR music experience.
