Savannah’s own Music Intelligence Solutions was featured on The Discovery Channel’s website, just days after coming off a big win at the 2009 Innovation Awards. It would seem that the same innovative and technological prowess that enamored our judges also caught the eye of America’s most popular science/technology/history channel.

What’s the scoop?

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Music Intelligence Solutions, Inc. (uPlaya) took home the gold in the Small Business category for their interactive online services - including creative development, branding, social networking and discovery tools - for established and budding musicians and songwriters, producers, music supervisors, mobile distributors and anyone who has an affinity for music. One of only a host of resources for musicians, producers, songwriters and consumers, uPlaya.com uses proprietary and patent-protected technology to produce immediate, scientific market analysis and popularity ranking prediction of music worldwide.

“The songs that score the best include a certain amount of unpredictability in the music,” CEO David Meredith told Discovery News in the article. “Norah Jones is a great example of an artist who pulled from jazz and pop to create a sound that was different from other artists at the time, but the underlying patterns of her music was strong and the music scored very well.”
