SayCubed is a play on the title of the song “Say Say Say,” by Micheal Jackson and Paul McCartney from 1983. During the time of these two legendary musicians wrote and performed together, Micheal looked up to Paul as a mentor. At some point, Micheal Jackson asked Paul McCartney how to protect and maintain his wealth. Paul probably had a lot of advice for the young Micheal, but the most useful advice for him was stating the value of owning and controlling music royalties.
Controlling their music royalties was something that Paul McCartney had failed to do with The Beatles. The story goes on to Micheal Jackson buying a company called ATV and owning the royalties to The Beatles songs written by McCartney and Lennon.
So the songwriters sparked and inspired the design of SayCubed.
Musicians have more freedom to be an artist and a business owner these days. They can produce amazing high-quality music and reach many people from their own personal computers. Musicians can keep control of their music, but they need a way to leverage their future earnings.
Record companies formerly trapped musicians in contracts that had little benefit to the artist by offering amazing advances. Now an artist can sell the rights to their future royalty earnings for a set amount of time.
Joseph Unrau (founder of SayCubed) has been dreaming of a way to buy music royalties since the 1980’s when he first heard of the Micheal Jackson/Paul McCartney story. In 2017, he became aware of cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens. His dream was coupled with the new technology of blockchain and the idea that many people together could own and profit from song royalties.
SayCubed is being built on the Eos.io blockchain.
