Gideen is a Los Angeles based technology firm helping smart music makers to find the next well paid production job and to monetize their non-hit music. Gideen is focused on orphan music, i.e. original songs/recordings, no record label, artist manager or music publisher wants to invest in or work with because the music income per song and year is smaller than the average $20 industrywide handling costs per song.Music makers are music producers, artists, record labels, amateur musicians, who are using Gideen's platform opportunities after an initial marketing campaign hasn't turned into a top 10 Billboard Charts success, or as a clever dual longterm strategy to increase revenues for album tracks. Many music owners are leveraging Gideen to boost catalog revenues and optimize sales multiples before an exit sale.Importantly, Gideen is also producing opportunities for music that hasn't found a home yet.Gideen's sophisticated platform hyper distributes, connects and tracks this music by generating and collecting revenues globally. Gideen's new 3.0 shared economy business model is able to produce $15 per revenue-dollar collected, more than 100 times the financial result, the music owner is able to achieve on his own, no matter how good or well networked he is.Gideen has a built in market for customized music as well, connecting music makers and people who need to produce music for a concrete opportunity. We are able to match based on signature-sound and budget within one second, no middle man involved. Chances to get hired for lucrative jobs are increasing, the more tracks a music maker has uploaded to Gideen, for music supervisors, the more they have licensed from Gideen's platform.Gideen is in a growth-stage and we are looking for tech savvy growth hackers/software engineers participating in our Super-Ambassador Program (email to SA@gideen.com).All of you are welcome to contact me directly: Heiko.Schmidt@gideen.com

I started Parasongs Japan in 2005 because I was deeply frustrated regarding the admin and collection quality of our previous local sub-publishing partner, and after screening the market, couldn't find anyone close to our requirements.Parasongs Japan is a music publishing company and member of MPAJ and JASRAC.Shortly after establishing the company, we implemented our new admin and collection technology and within 6 months improved gross catalog income by 265%, recouping all related R&D costs immediately.Between 2005 and 2009, we offered our technology as a service to more than 120 publishers in the UK and US, managed nearly 200,000 music copyrights and increased catalog revenues up to 7,000%.

In 2000, I started software development to identify anomalies in large sets of international royalty accountings. Out of millions of numbers spanning multiple accounting periods, we were able to identify patterns and related mistakes as well as international tax fraud.Shockingly, our list of findings were larger than the original royalty statement. I then sued the licensing partners (large international corporations) and won 100% on the highest court level in Germany, proving that our findings were accurate.We made the next step and used the technology to build an international administration system to avoid these mistakes for music rights we control and were able to improve catalog revenues up to 7,000%.From 2009 to 2012, and backed by PE firms in the UK and the US, we were running a large acquisition pipeline to acquire poorly managed music catalogs.Based on this M&A experience and because our technology works best for low income assets, I then founded Gideen, the first 100% software coded record label/music publishing company and incorporated this technology on the music publishing part of the asset management. Gideen has opened its doors in 2013 and catalog and asset value is growing.

Together with Johann Felch, the former global CFO of BMW Financial Services, I raised a fund with institutional investors to acquire music publishing catalogs. In the middle of the largest financial crisis we were able to get some LP commitments, but it wasn't sufficient enough to close the fund. Eventually, we decided to partner with existing PE funds for that purpose.

I founded the company to manage the growing number of signed recording artists, songwriters, music producers and to develop brand relationships, advertisement and marketing campaigns.Most notable achievement was the invention of a new technology based system to increase brand recognition in tv advertisement films by transferring brand equity parameters into music terms.In a 2 year research coop with P&G's european headquarter in Geneva/Switzerland, we were able to fine tune the system and as a result multiplied brand recognition for Pringles potato chips by factor 4.5 for most european countries.We were able to repeat this success with other P&G consumer products like Blend-a-med tooth paste and Hugo Boss fragrances.Paramedia was also management firm of our most successful artist project SWEETBOX, developing and running cross marketing campaigns with large partners like Lancome/L'Oreal, Macy's, Toyota, Mercedes Benz, Samsung in more than 40 different countries.

Music production company, successor of Paramusic GbR in Germany (founded in 1993).The companies biggest commercial success was SWEETBOX, started in 1995 with the breakthrough top 10 success "Everything's gonna be alright", many more hits after with a total of 50 million sold records in a 20 year project lifetime.I co-founded this company, co-wrote and co-produced many songs and was the executive producer of almost all records.

Record Label

Record Label

I co-founded this company with a songwriter/producer to run our growing music publishing business. Until 2000, the company had a co-publishing agreement with EMI Music Publishing.In 2005 the catalog was moved to Parasongs Europe and in 2010 to Parasongs International in the US.

I co-founded Paramusic as a music production company with the focus of signing (mainly) U.S. talents (recording artists, music producers, songwriters), developing them in Europe and licensing the records territory by territory.That might sound very technical, but has two basic underlying economic theses which still apply today.1. Exploitation travels eastSelling music is a global business and for cultural reasons, music can be exported into other countries only from west to east (with a very few and rare exemptions).As an example: A german artist will never sell big in the UK or the US (west) but is able to sell in eastern Europe and Asia (east).A US artist is able to sell everywhere (because the US is the most western country from the dateline).To optimize a music production business and being located in Germany, our only chance to take advantage was to sign US talent only, relocate them to Europe for development and then sell the records worldwide.2. Territory by territory licensingUsually an artist or music project is signed by one record label in one country and when become successful in the home country, probably other sister record labels of the original one will start promoting/selling the music in their countries.We did the opposite by giving the record label the rights for one country only and then I developed relationships to more than 500 local record labels in 42 other countries and shopped the artist/music project directly for multiple local deals.From the economic point of view this makes sense:a) every record label has paid a little cash advance and multiple payments added up to a larger $ number, making every production we did profitable, independent from commercial success.b) every territory who did release the record was an additional chance for success, because markets are different and so is music taste and trends.We did very well and the company grew rapidly.

Together with real estate mogul Peter Geyer and former global head of marketing Pepsi Cola Manfred Benz I started my life as entrepreneur and my very first company Paradise Program TV Productions. The idea was to leverage my expertise in developing, selling and producing new innovative tv show formats and my network, develop funding and sponsorships with the extensive network from Manfred and finance TV Pilots and start up costs with Peters profits out of the real estate business. Most notable was "Lach Dich tot!", a tv show format compiling funny user generated home videos.

With a small team of really great people we developed and produced many TV shows for major TV channels in Germany (ARD, ZDF, SAT1, PRO7). Most notably, a successful game show with identical triplet kids, broadcasted nationwide (ZDF).

I started as a sound engineer. Four months later, I interned at the line producer department, and after 6 months as an assistant to multiple line producers, I was hired as full time line producer of the TV station's flag ship Saturday evening live show department. I was responsible for the following blockbuster tv shows: "Nase vorn" with host Frank Elstner, "Musik liegt in der Luft" with host Dieter Thomas Heck, "Reisemagazin", "Silvestershow" with host Ingolf Lück.In 1991 Wolfgang Penk, at the time head of all entertainment shows at ZDF asked me to join his new TV production company "Live Line TV-Productions" to develop my career as an executive TV producer as well.I took this opportunity.
