In-Kind

Musiversal is supporting Music City Make-A-Thon as a in-kind partner. We’re interested in partnering with Music City Make-A-Thon because it sits exactly at the intersection we care about: real musicianship, emerging technology, and ethical innovation. Musiversal exists to make high-quality music production more accessible through live remote collaboration with world-class session musicians. MCM’s focus on concept-to-concert creation, human vs. hybrid workflows, and responsible AI in music aligns closely with how we think about the future: technology should amplify human creativity, not replace it. We’re especially excited about the format, building a song from seed to stage in six days. That mirrors what we see every day on our platform: creators moving quickly from idea to finished record when they have the right tools and the right collaborators. Supporting MCM allows us to: • Contribute to Nashville’s leadership in human-centered music tech • Connect with forward-thinking artists, developers, and producers • Give creators hands-on access to real session musicians as part of their workflow The 1-month Musiversal Unlimited subscriptions are our way of extending the Make-A-Thon energy beyond the event, helping winners and participants continue building with real musicians after the competition ends. We see this as a natural cultural fit more than a transactional sponsorship. The team is also open to mentoring and supporting participants directly during the event.
