Will Mills after 12 years at Shazam should see real opportunity in music and lyric ID services!
Big investor in LyricFind is also big time into SoundHound and Pandora.
I hope they’re struck by lighting and connect few points to convert Radio and streaming to $100B music store.
Shazam the PIMP and other music and lyric ID services have to become the gate keepers of music!
They can be the PERFECT PAY WALL and total retardant of piracy.
