What Is It?

JukeBox is a volume licensing platform where artists keep 83.3% of every transaction. Music contract licensing at scale — transparent pricing, no black-box royalties, no middlemen taking most of the money.

How It Works

1. Artists upload their music with clear licensing terms
2. Creators discover music for their projects (YouTube, podcasts, games)
3. One-click licensing with transparent pricing
4. Artists get paid 83.3% of every sale (Cost + 20% model)

Why This Matters

• Current streaming pays $0.003-0.005 per stream
• Current sync licensing takes 50%+ in fees
• JukeBox: Artists set their price, keep most of it

Permission Ledger

Every license is blockchain-verified:

• Who licensed what, when, for how much
• No disputes about rights
• Clear attribution chain

The Founder’s Strategy — And Yours

Origin Story

In Christmas 2025, our family decided to make presents for each other instead of buying them. I started recording songs for my wife as one of her gifts. Badly. Unedited. One take.

That’s when I realized: the imperfection IS the point.

How It Works

Why YouTube?

We rely on YouTube’s terms of service and licensing agreements with music creators. They’ve already done the legal work. We embed their player on our pages.

Benefits:

• YouTube handles DMCA compliance
• Artists get YouTube revenue + our licensing fees
• Viewers can find us through YouTube search
• “Founder’s Office” channel draws them in

The Founder’s Example

I’m recording poorly-sung One-Take versions of songs I want to use for my product promotion Kickstarters:

The point: If the Founder can do it badly and still use it, so can you.

Revenue Model: The Brucklyn Example

Here’s exactly how the first artist payment worked:

Total Value: ~$800 equivalent for saying yes first.

How YouTube Revenue Funds Operations

This is Cost+20% in action: The Founder’s home office costs (garage = Corporate HQ) are legitimate business expenses, just like any member’s home business costs.

💰 Transparent Operations Funding

Home Office Model

The Founder runs Liana Banyan from a garage. This is the Home Office. The same Cost+20% model applies:

Why this matters: This is what YOU can do with YOUR business costs. They’re included in Cost+20% as the example. There are no gotchas — this is all legit and fully transparent.

The Percentage Setup

Per the How Founder Gets Paid documentation:

Same rules as anyone else. Any member who creates products, runs a home business, or contributes innovations gets the same deal.

Crown Leadership

Taylor Swift — Maestro of the Melody

She fought for ownership of her own music. She re-recorded her entire catalog rather than let someone else profit from her art. She understands exactly what’s at stake when artists don’t own their work.

“Artists deserve ownership. Full stop.”

First Artist: Bruck’lyn

Our first licensed artist received:

Total value: ~$800+ for saying yes first.

This establishes the precedent: Cash + Currency + Ownership for artists who join early.
