The Future of Music Monetization: Navigating Name, Image, and Likeness in the Digital Age

Imagine a world where your likeness is more than just an image—it's an asset. Our conversation with Jim Griffin, media technologist and founder and moderator of the Pho list, talks us through name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights in the music industry. 

Artists are navigating a new digital landscape where AI has the potential to turn one’s likeness into a substantial revenue stream. The music industry sits on the cusp of transformation, and understanding the trajectory of these changes is paramount. We explore strategies for artists to proactively manage and monetize these rights, drawing from the experience of the sports industry where NIL has already caused significant impact.
