About

Royal

Royal is building an open market for music rights, making music ownership accessible to everyone.

Helmed by co-founders Justin Blau (3LAU) and JD Ross, Royal leverages distributed ledger technology to enable anyone to invest in music, earn streaming royalties alongside the artists they believe in, and get exclusive access to curated benefits. By opening music ownership to the masses, Royal gives artists a new option to power their careers — one that allows them to maintain control over their work and take fans on the journey with them.
