2. The Problem
No definite place for music industry data.
Currently no way to measure efforts and gain insight for musicians, record labels
and stakeholders.
Huge waste of money and time recorded in the industry.
Instinct currently used to make important make or break decisions like signings.
3. The Problem
With the little data available, it is hard to track metrics like downloads, artiste
performance, income and hit prediction—important metrics in selecting which
songs to release, market and promote.
Music executives, artists and repertoires are caught in double coincidence of the
digital disruption and burgeoning industry, and are responding opportunistically.
Entities that are in the business are far removed from the local context in Nigeria
and can only prioritize a manageable number of possibilities derivable from such
big data.
There are few services or professional bodies that track important data &
metrics.

8. The Opportunity
PWC 2015 entertainment outlook posits that the Nigerian music market will
expand at a CAGR of 11.3% over the next 5 years to reach US$8.8 million in
2019.
Daily exposure to musical content is on the rise and presents diverse market
explorations and opportunities.
Culture and lifestyle are mainstreaming in music content models and there is no
one strategically targeting its development.
Huge losses of money and time in the music industry with no means of
measuring success.
9. Market Validation
$88 Million
The Nigerian Music industry is
currently an $70 million market
that is estimated to grow to $88
million in 2019 (PWC).
Digital sales will account for almost 90%
of Nigeria’s recorded music sales in 2019
10. Business Model
Data curation and analysis: Huge music investments being peddled around into
failures - 80% of which we never hear about because they failed. We can help
save 20% of those investments in our second year.
Sponsors rely on mass publicity to reach a smaller target audience and lose
resources and time doing so.
Content creation and distribution: Music content and products developments
will be informed for both Music Coco and third party partners in the industry.
Our product will redefine how signings, releases, marketing, promotion and
distribution of musicals will be done.

19. Conclusion
Our goal is pretty straightforward, to use data to transform the music
industry globally. The platform will reveal the consumption and
spending patterns of music fans. It will also provide early data signals
that reveal when an artiste is likely to go mainstream or viral. The
platform also reveals the Music DNA of a particular demographic and
also informs the decision of the best digital platform that will give
maximum exposure to a particular artiste.
Music Coco will disrupt the current order of the music industry in
Africa and establish itself as the go-to data and analytics platform for
the global music industry.
