This startup will let you buy shares in your favorite songs.
JKBX (pronounced “jukebox”) is a new platform that lets music rights holders sell securities based on their royalties.
If you buy shares in a song like Beyoncé’s “Halo,” for example, you’ll get a cut of the distribution fees the rights holder collects. The only problem is that it’s already hard enough for artists themselves to make money from streaming, so even if you invest in a trending song, it could take a while to see a meaningful return.
