GMG rebuilt the A&R intelligence system after deploying these discovery methods at Warner Music.
Rocksteady detects artist momentum, regional scenes, producer networks, songwriter collaboration, and cultural signals before the rest of the industry catches on.
The Discovery system identifies emerging artists and cultural signals that may develop into the next generation of music careers.
20 Active Scouts scanning signals across 23 genres and 156 regional scenes
Within the GMG ecosystem, the Discovery system identifies emerging artists, the Platform operates the Artist OS, and the Catalog infrastructure supports long-term music assets.
