Frank Rodi (AU)

Frank Rodi is a music industry innovator, music rights specialist, and internationally renowned expert in music recognition technologies.

He pioneered the deployment of the first music recognition systems in nightclubs and festivals across Australia and New Zealand - transforming royalty distribution for electronic and dance music creators and setting a model now adopted by music organisations worldwide.

Currently he’s working on the global overhaul of KUVO with AlphaTheta Corporation (formerly Pioneer DJ) - "Empowering Music Through Data." The reimagined platform uses proprietary layers of music recognition technologies to modernise club reporting, delivering valuable venue insights and fairer creator remuneration.

This innovation traces back to his years at APRA AMCOS, the Australasian collective management organisation (CMO), where he specialised in digital music licensing and business development - and first introduced music recognition technology into clubs and festivals.

Frank's career began as a DJ and broadcaster, creating Alchemy for SBS Television - the first Australian television program dedicated to electronic and dance music - alongside Alchemy on SBS Radio. He also worked at the national youth broadcast station triple j (ABC Radio).
