Darryl Ballantyne is celebrating the 20th anniversary of LyricFind, which he co-founded and has led as CEO since its inception. The company operates in a particular niche, but an important and growing one as streaming and social media become the main home for music listening: digital lyric licensing and publishing. This year has been particularly big for the company, as LyricFind acquired Rotor Videos, which uses AI to automatically generate lyric videos. LyricFind now boasts partnerships with over 60,000 publishers, covering more than 200,000 publishing catalogues. Working with platforms like TikTok, Amazon, Google, YouTube and CD Baby makes LyricFind a bridge between music and tech.
