Welcome to Luminate Music Data Enrichment. Our mission is to enable complete, accurate identification of performers and their works across the global music ecosystem.
Total metadata accuracy requires every artist and every song to have at least one industry-standard identifier. To that end, we maintain the world’s largest database of musical IDs and use advanced data science to map the links between them. Our dataset is the only one with 100% identifier coverage for sound recordings, musical works and contributors of all kinds (i.e. performers, songwriters, producers and non-performing artists).
In addition to our game-changing dataset, we offer metadata matching, cleansing and management services to artists, labels and publishers.
We provide ID matching, data enhancement, registration and database access as standalone or combined services depending on client needs. Follow the links below for details on each product.
Claim musical works, resolve discrepancies and maximize publishing revenue with WorksMatch. We enrich and update repertoires for labels and publishers by linking ISRCs to ISWCs, ISNIs and other key identifiers.

Metadata accuracy can only be achieved with 100% identifier coverage and up-to-date matching techniques. There are hundreds of millions of musical entities, many with the same names and titles. Identifying them correctly takes more than fuzzy matching or string logic.
Instead, we use multi-source, multi-point matching to disambiguate musical entities. Our patented graph topology and data architecture allows us to link artists to their works with a 99.9% confidence level. We don't guess; we pinpoint.
Luminate Data Enrichment maintains the world’s largest artist identification database and offers sophisticated metadata matching, cleansing and other data enhancement services. Our dataset includes more than 2.5 million artist identifiers and over 200 million total asset identifiers.
Our story begins when Quansic, a France-based software company specializing in data management for the music industry, was acquired by Luminate as part of its continued efforts to unify data across entertainment. The Data Enrichment team operates independently and is still led by Quansic founder and chief scientist FX Nuttall, who built the company after 20+ years of successfully designing solutions to harmonize and enhance music metadata.
