Two of the biggest challenges were the artist verification process and artist dashboard. Our previous verification flow was sub-optimal and required a lengthy process in order to get artists verified on Shazam. This slow & manual process left us with a backlog of verification requests that was growing faster that it could be actioned by the music team. Also, the previous state of the dashboard needed a facelift. This dashboard had been designed and implemented by various teams over the years and it looked like a Frankenstein product. To be fair, it was nobody’s fault, but it definitely needed some love.
Something else that had not been done before was to make these platforms responsive to allow a small percentage of our users to access it from a tablet or mobile device. I know what you're thinking, it's 2018 Jonathan, how can your platform not be responsive? Well, that was the same reaction I had when I found out. But, to be fair, it was a small percentage of our user base and it had not been a priority in the product roadmap.
For all these reasons, it became apparent that these tools needed a facelift and be made mobile friendly.

Artist Biography. An old soul with a livewire mind, Kid Cudi is hip-hop’s patron saint of misfits and outsiders. The Cleveland native—born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi in 1984—came up fueled by the trials he'd faced early on. After he was expelled from high school, he moved to New York with dreams of becoming a successful rapper. To find out if your music is on Shazam’s database, go to Shazam’s website, and search for your song title and artist name. If it is in the database, it will show up and display the artwork, song title and artist name. You can also play the song on another device, and use the Shazam app on your phone to detect it. Shazam is the second studio album by English rock band the Move, released in February 1970 by Regal Zonophone. The LP marked a bridge between the band's quirky late '60s pop singles and the progressive, long-form style of Roy Wood's next project, the Electric Light Orchestra.
