Bandlab Technologies parent company Caldecott Music Group has become an official ISNI Registration Agency in an effort to correctly identify creators across the music and media industries.

“We’re entering an era where creators are no longer defined by a single role, platform or geography. They’re building multi-hyphenate careers across disciplines, shaping culture in real time and connecting with global communities on their own terms,” said Caldecott Music foudner/CEO Meng Ru Kuok.

“Partnering with ISNI enables us to support the infrastructure that empowers this new generation of creatives, ensuring every contributor is discoverable, recognized and properly connected in a fast-evolving, borderless creative ecosystem," he continued. "We see ISNI as more than just an identifier; to us, it’s a crucial part of building the foundations for collaboration between platforms and equal opportunity in a world where creative talent still too often goes unseen or unrewarded.”

Added ISNI executive director Tim Devenport of the partnership with Caldecott, “Their diverse portfolio and creator-first ethos make them an ideal partner to expand ISNI’s reach across the broader creative landscape. The continued growth of ISNI in the music world signals real progress toward standardization that enables greater interoperability between creators, platforms and partners worldwide."
