FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES – Oct. 19, 2022 – STYNGR, the first music integration platform for game development and the metaverse, is excited to announce a new Creator Fund that will allow game developers to add custom radio stations and music audio snippets called “Styngs” as in-game DLC – along with artist likeness, custom drops, social media activations, and more. Unique collaborations with major artists are also in the cards – allowing game developers to reach massive, highly-engaged audiences like never before. Helping developers build value at zero cost, the Creator Fund will further promote record labels as well as artists – bringing games, major labels, and the metaverse together through the sheer power of music.
The process is simple: STYNGR SDKs and APIs allow developers to access commercial music from every major label and the majority of indie labels without having to handle music licensing, distribution, and payments. Offering access to more than 20 million pre-cleared tracks, STYNGR provides solutions for importing, organizing, and monetizing the largest curated music experience that exists in gaming. “Styng” tech is designed to let games and metaverse developers monetize recorded music within a game while enhancing the player experience on all fronts.
Unveiling the STYNGR Creator Fund
As the first fund devoted to driving music activations in game development, STYNGR's Creator Fund expands the company’s efforts to democratize access to fully licensed mainstream music for all game developers. The STYNGR Creator Fund will cover up to $100,000 in artist and licensing fees – providing creators with the technical, financial, and promotional support to launch experiences and drive community growth.
“We want to pioneer music as a form of live ops across gaming and the metaverse,” says Alex Tarrand, chief operating officer of STYNGR. “The Creator Fund allows us to provide opportunities to game developers and help them drive their IP. We’re excited to support all game developers in realizing their work – as well as direct funds to artists so they can have their music, and even likeness, featured in titles across all genres and platforms.”
The STYNGR Creator Fund is open to all studios across game development and metaverse platforms – with accepted applicants receiving access to the complete suite of STYNGR support, including grants to launch major artist and music activations in their games at no cost. This also includes technical infrastructure to support game development and metaverse live ops – subsidizing artist fees, likeness and social media rights, NFT drops, and driving monetization and user acquisition for chosen games.
Having established partnerships with the biggest names in music, including major labels and publishers, STYNGR offers developers the largest library of fully licensed mainstream music to integrate into their games. STYNGR removes the obstacles typically associated with music licensing and in turn provides new opportunities for monetization to developers of all sizes.
