Atlanta, GA, April 22, 2019 --(PR.com)-- MyMy Music, the streaming music platform which allows
listeners to discover and help promote independent artists, has earned funding from Hit Ventures, an
entertainment media consulting firm based in Montreal, Canada with a tech-based venture capital fund.
Hit Ventures provides emerging brands in entertainment, media and hospitality technology with strategic
marketing counsel and capital. For MyMy Music, the Canadian firm brings working partnerships with
artist representation agencies, as well as global accounting and law firms with a coveted network of
experts to provide services for artists that breakthrough on the MyMy Music platform.
Founded in 2017, MyMy Music launched its first genre-specific app, MyMy Hip Hop in Atlanta last year.
The app offers a level playing field for hip-hop artists to introduce their music and gain feedback from
listeners using a patent pending process called “blind judging.” An industry-first, blind judging randomly
cues tracks for listeners without providing information on the artist or images. Tracks are judged solely
on merit of the music.
Contrary to Spotify, where artists submit their music to “Spotify editors,” MyMy Music's model
showcases indie hip-hop artists that download the app and register. Individual artist promotion is based on
crowd-sourced judging where favorably-rated songs make the catalog and build credibility for the artist
from MyMy's fast-growing listener pool of registered users.
“MyMy Music has proven their ability to bridge emerging artists to success,” said Hit Ventures
co-founder Samy Eissa. “Our goal is to expand awareness of MyMy Music to more artists and build the
engaged listening audience, presenting the platform as a centralized collection of the world's best unheard
talent.”
Hit Ventures' principals have worked and consulted for an impressive roster of entertainment & lifestyle
companies such as AccorHotels, a French multinational hospitality company that owns, manages and
franchises hotels, resorts, and vacation properties, LANDR, an audio mastering and distribution software
for artists, and K6 Media Group, an entertainment technology company bringing solutions to the
animation and interactive industry, including Mickey Mouse, Spongebob and Super Mario amongst
others. With a niche focus in entertainment technology, Hit Ventures sees MyMy's interactive
gamification of crowd-based blind judging as a legitimate contender in music streaming.
“While investors are a major part of any startup's success, there still has to be a personality fit,” says
MyMy Music CEO Shawn Pouliotte. “Hit Ventures has been out in the field with us frequently, most
recently at our activations for SXSW. They know our customer base intimately, and understand our
innovative business model. That was a big factor in bringing them onboard as smart money.”

embraces crowd opinion as part of the listening process. The patent-pending algorithm uses a random
blind-judging process that ensures there is no bias and the outcome of judging can't be gamed. Listeners
voted based on emotion rather than association. After sufficient judging of a track, it is scored and either
promoted or failed based on the crowd opinion. This method of curation has proven highly successful in
capturing a large audience sentiment about a track or artist across a global audience and can then further
segment that information into more granular buckets such as gender or geolocation. MyMy Music will be
deploying its blind-judging algorithm to other music genres in the upcoming months.
