Hook has partnered with Too Lost, expanding its digital distribution network and adding access to over 300,000 artists and labels. This marks Hook's fourth major distribution partnership, following agreements with Fuga/Downtown, Revelator, and Gyrostream.
Too Lost, which distributes over 7 million songs and handles approximately 150,000 new releases monthly, brings an impressive roster of artists to Hook's platform, including Teddy Swims, Tommy Richman, Ty Dolla $ign, Justin Bieber, Playboi Carti, and James Blake, among others.
Hook's Platform Features and Benefits:
- Users can legally remix and mash up songs while generating income
- Patent-pending technology provides superior music remixing capabilities
- Rights holders maintain full control over their intellectual property
- Attribution mechanism tracks both Sound Recording & Publishing credits
- Revenue sharing model benefits all rights holders on a prorata basis
- Artists retain complete control over remix permissions on a feature-by-feature basis
The partnership addresses a crucial industry challenge: the proliferation of unlicensed content across social media platforms. Hook's solution enables rights holders to maintain control while creating new revenue streams through user-generated content and creative remixes.
"Too Lost is excited to partner with Hook Music, enabling our clients to participate in Hook's ecosystem," says Greg Hirschhorn, Co-Founder & CEO of Too Lost. "Their AI-powered platform empowers fans while ensuring proper compensation for artists and rights-holders."
Hook's revenue model ensures that original rights holders retain all copyrights, and any revenue generated from Hook-created remixes is shared fairly. Notably, revenue earned from remixes shared to other platforms belongs entirely to the rights holders, except under specific separate agreements.
This partnership comes at a time when AI tools are making music manipulation more accessible, and creator-made remixes are increasingly driving song popularity on social media platforms. Hook's ecosystem creates a win-win situation where creators, users, and artists can all benefit from short-form content monetization.
