Session Studio has become the first creator tool to integrate directly with new A&R admin platform Connex.
Connex launched recently with the aim to be the industry standard for music credits management for music creators. Universal Music Group came on board as the first client.
Session Studio captures and manages music metadata at the point of creation.
Through this new integration, music creators will now be able to export their song metadata, credits and rights information from Session Studio straight into Connex. It ensures that accurate credit information flows directly to labels, publishers and distributors, even as their music is being created.
“With Connex already being adopted by major organisations such as Universal Music Group, this compatibility places Session Studio at the heart of the music industry’s next-generation metadata ecosystem,” said a statement.

“Missing or incomplete credits have been a persistent challenge in the music industry for decades,” said Niclas Molinder, co-founder of Session Studio. “Session Studio was built to give creators control over their data from the very first note. By integrating directly with Connex, we’re helping creators protect their work, streamline industry workflows, and ensure that when music is played, everyone involved is properly credited and paid.”
Captured information – including contributor names, roles, shares and rights details – is formatted according to DDEX standards for ingestion by labels, publishers, and DSPs. This process reduces manual errors, highlights missing credits and helps to identify and resolve conflicts. It also speeds up the time required for royalty payments following music creation.
The partnership is part of Session Studio’s broader vision on improving music metadata.
“By integrating with Connex, Session Studio bridges the gap between creative collaboration and industry operations – setting a new benchmark for how music credits should be managed in the digital era,” said the statement.
