Darryl Ballantyne was interviewed by Platform and Stream to discuss the LyricFind 20th Anniversary, recent partnerships, the future of lyrics, and more!
LyricFind, the trusted source for lyrics and data licensing, kicked off the celebration of its 20th anniversary with a “diamond” achievement: there are now over 10 million unique songs in its fully licensed lyrics database.

This milestone is the perfect marker to represent the company’s growth over the past two decades to become the world leader in lyric monetization, all while remaining completely independent with zero outside funding.
Since signing the first-ever lyric licensing deal with EMI Music Publishing (now part of Sony Music Publishing) in 2005, LyricFind has grown its product suite into the global premier provider of lyric data, sync, and translations, with innovative solutions for data analysis and video creation.
To help celebrate the big 2–0, we connected with Darryl Ballantyne, Co-Founder and CEO of LyricFind, to get an update on what’s new.
The interview was a real treat, as Ballantyne shared his thoughts on the music business, new partnerships, the future of lyric licensing, and much more.
