LyricFind is the trusted source for lyrics and data licensing. Currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, the company pioneered the lyric licensing market in 2005, when it signed the first-ever lyric licensing deal with EMI Music Publishing (now part of Sony/ATV Music Publishing). Since then, it has grown to become the world leader in lyric monetization, all while remaining completely independent with zero outside funding.
