- Why we exist

Music has no shortage of data. It has a shortage of connection.

Streaming, social, video, charts, touring, catalogue and royalty records are created in different systems for different purposes. The data can be individually useful and still leave the organisation rebuilding the wider picture by hand.

Music Intel connects those records around the artist, recording, work and rights relationship. Musicata Pro uses the connected record to support roster and artist decisions. BlackBox Royalty Investigator uses a controlled evidence record to investigate defined royalty gaps.

We work beside the systems that already deliver music, account for royalties and run the business. We add the connection between them.

- Origin

Built from music and data.

Music Intel began with one problem seen from two sides.

- 01 The musician

Years inside the work itself.

We have spent years writing, recording, releasing and promoting our own music. Like most independent artists, we have wrestled with numbers that never quite explain what is really happening.

Fragmented dashboards. Vanity metrics. Data that arrives weeks late and answers the wrong question. The view from inside the artist seat is what told us where the gap was.

- 02 The data professional

Two decades of serious-software discipline.

  • 1999Started developing websites in the City of London.
  • 2003Built first production-ready, database-driven system using SQL.
  • 2006Moved into legal data infrastructure.
  • 2012Into digital forensics and cyber incident response.

Fields where context, accuracy and timing are not features. They are the entire job.

Built from music and data.

Music Intel began with one problem seen from two sides. As working artists, Nick and Wendy Pollard experienced how difficult it was to understand a career through disconnected dashboards. Through Nick's work in enterprise data, legal technology, digital forensics and cyber incident response, the same structural problem was familiar: important decisions were being made from records that had not been connected.

Music Intel brings those experiences together. It applies disciplined data handling to the practical decisions made by artists, labels, distributors, managers, rights teams and educators.

Nick Pollard

Chief Executive Officer & Founder
LinkedIn

Nick Pollard is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Music Intel. He has more than two decades of experience across enterprise technology, data infrastructure, legal technology, digital forensics and cyber incident response.

Alongside that career, Nick is a songwriter, producer and recording artist. Building and releasing music exposed the limits of fragmented music reporting from the artist's side. His technology work showed how the same problem could be addressed through better data structure, provenance and cross-reference.

Nick leads Music Intel's product, data and commercial strategy. His focus is practical: connect the records, preserve what they can prove and give the responsible person a clearer basis for action.

- Operating principles

How we work.

Four commitments
01

Independent.

Music Intel is privately owned and independent. Product priorities are set around the people who use the platform and the work they are responsible for.

02

Evidence-led.

One dataset rarely answers the whole question. We connect relevant records, preserve their source and make disagreement visible. The person responsible for the decision remains accountable for it.

03

Private by design.

Music Intel products are designed around UK data-protection requirements, defined access and agreed use. Customer data is handled within the scope and responsibilities set for each engagement.

04

Open about boundaries.

We explain what a product uses, what it produces and what it cannot decide. Protected implementation detail remains confidential, while the evidence and limitations behind a customer decision remain reviewable.
