Bushido is built on a simple idea: artists and rightsholders should control how their work is used and be paid fairly when it is. Our code reflects the values that empower creatives and rightsholders with the tools to honour copyright.
Our code reflects our evolving ethos and culture created by our artist co-founders and partners who inspired an elite team to build an exchange that respects artists, songwriters and rightsholders.
Creating art is a beautiful process but rarely rewarded with a profit as distributors of content are still taking the lion's share. Our mission is to build artist friendly tools that give creatives full control of their work.
Supporting an ecosystem of real fans - that means no bots or fake accounts. The result is creatives can focus on building deeper connections with genuine supporters producing more profit.
Some creations take hours while others take decades. The time and resources dedicated to creating music, video, masterclasses and beyond can be a Herculean effort that involves teams, songwriters, producers and others who are often under-recognised. Stealing music is illegal and takes money out of the pockets of musicians who have worked their lives to create their art.
