Driving Music Industry Success

Supporting artists, songwriters, and organizations.

Meet Natalie Jacobs

For over 20 years, I've lived where the worlds of recorded music and publishing converge, which provided a unique lens on the industry's fundamental truth: metadata and rights management is critical to driving success in the modern music industry. Founding Equalizer Consulting was the natural evolution of this insight, a way to empower both businesses and individuals to harness the full potential of their data. Coupled with strong rights management solutions, it is a pathway to ensuring that valuable music assets are well protected.

I see these elements not just as data points, but as the bedrock for fair compensation, effective discovery, and a thriving music ecosystem. My deep understanding of this critical link has made me a sought-after voice, helping businesses build future-proof data and rights strategies, and empowering creators to protect their valuable work.

For corporate clients, this translates to optimizing data workflows and implementing robust rights administration systems that ensure accurate ownership and timely compensation. We can make sure that everybody in your organization understands, and is ready to play their part, in maintaining the value of metadata throughout the lifecycle of a song. A data-forward approach can transform your business.

For individual creatives, I provide the knowledge and confidence to navigate the complexities of rights ownership, registration, and royalties, safeguarding their creative assets in a rapidly evolving digital world. I will empower you to understand the value of your catalog and invest in yourself. I would be honored to guide you in your career.

My passion lies in equipping the music community with the knowledge and tools to succeed, whether guiding corporate teams toward data and rights excellence or mentoring individual artists through the intricacies of ownership. As I also dedicate time to mentoring, speaking, and educating; I'm honored to shape the next generation of music professionals, sharing the insights gained from years spent at the forefront of this dynamic industry.
