TAO Network, the smart contract DAO platform for creating and operating decentralized applications, has announced its partnership with Boogie Shack Music Group to develop blockchain-based tools and services for the music publishing company.

According to the release, the partnership will allow TAO Network to gain complete access to the artists along with the masters who are signed up with Boogie Shack, to create blockchain solutions for the music industry. Gaining full access to the collection will facilitate the platform to implement TAO of Music project for its collaborator.

"We're developing artists and building careers rooted in creativity and new and future technologies like the Tao network," Hakim Draper, CEO of Boogie Shack Music Group said.

The resulting product of the collaboration will be an artist focused blockchain solution with Boogie Shack Music Group. TAO Network will analyze the business operations of the functioning, profitable music publisher in a move to develop services and tools that will serve both Boogie Shack Music Group as well as the entire music industry.

“This is an opportunity to build technology directly for and with the music industry and members of the artists' community. I'm honored to be a part of such a historic project,” Bryce Weiner of TAO Network said.

The partner project will be assisted by TAO Advisor Dale Everingham, 25-time Grammy award winning engineer for Destiny's Child and En Vogue. He will be the coordinator for development and integration of the solution by TAO Network into the existing operations of Boogie Shack.

TAO Network earlier this month announced the public crowdsale of its cryptocurrency tokens and the ‘TAO of music’ project. In total, 30 million tokens are available for the ongoing month-long crowdsale on the TAO network that will end on 28th August, 2016. At present, the platform website states that it has raised $42,698.84.
