A&R Intelligence Platform

We find artists
by what they
mean.

Not what they stream.

TAYSTE uses AI-powered taste signals — lyric analysis, sonic identity, cultural lineage, narrative arc — to surface emerging artists before anyone else does.

Type what you're looking for in plain language. No filters. No forms. Just results.

HOW IT WORKS.

01
Intake
Import your roster. We resolve artist profiles across Spotify, Soundcharts, and YouTube automatically.
02
Discover
Dual discovery: Soundcharts rising charts + Spotify related-artist graph surface fresh candidates.
03
Score & Act
Transparent scoring: Fit × Momentum − Risk. Review AI briefs. Shortlist or pass — feedback trains the system.
Taste Layer
Lyrics. Bios. Press language. We extract cultural meaning — lyrical world, sonic identity, narrative arc, scene affiliation. What the artist means, not just what they post.
AI Search
Type like a human. "Jazz-rap producers in Chicago under 10k followers." We parse intent across both taste signals and analytics. Results match what you actually meant.
Emerging First
We surface artists with small followings and strong cultural signals. The mainstream noise is filtered out by default. You find them before the algorithm does.

Currently in beta. Shaping the future of A&R.

Tayste is currently in beta. We're working with a handful of independent labels to refine the scoring engine, expand discovery pipelines, and shape the product around real A&R workflows.

Every interaction — every shortlist, every pass, every brief — feeds back into the system, making recommendations sharper and more attuned to what your label actually signs.

Built by music nerds. Obsessed with transparency.

We're a small team of music nerds and engineers who believe that the best A&R is part taste, part data, and zero black boxes.

No hidden algorithms deciding what you hear. Every score is explainable, every data point is traceable. A&R tools should amplify your instincts, not replace them.
