Our story

More transparency in music is a really good thing.

Good Splits was created in 2019 by Jordan Mattison—a music manager who’s been in the Nashville music industry for more than 15 years—and Coalesce, a full-stack digital agency.

Mattison had an idea for a tool that could help musicians be more autonomous with their accounting. He knew musicians that could better predict their financial futures typically feel more stable and secure in developing new work.

He worked with Coalesce to ideate what kind of tool would really be useful to working musicians who don’t have access to fancy accounting teams. Together, they created Good Splits--a new, simple tool that would allow musicians to bid farewell to their unwieldy spreadsheets, calculate payments faster, and provide more reliability and transparency to their collaborators.

Good Splits beta was launched to a select few early adopters and it had a bigger impact that we ever could have imagined. We took real user feedback into account and continue to evolve the product as new needs arise, but the primary mission remains: We engineered it for musicians, not accountants. It’s the easiest, most lightweight tool of its kind, and we aim to keep it that way.

We’re passionate about transparency in the music business because it has a terrible history of serving the artist last. We want to empower musicians to take back control of their careers and see more revenue from their songs. This is one step towards a more equitable music business. Join us.
