Yes… or No! The holder can set up various kinds of access and permissions in the settings, allowing their team and/or representatives to act on their behalf. Only the Creative Passport holder can allow these kinds of permissions. The final visible data needs to be correct and verified, (though parts of it could be crowdsourced to begin with, eg lyrics etc). Based on the permissions given, the data will be free for non-commercial purposes, this means that fans, for example, can access all the data for free. For 3rd party services willing to use the Creative Passport on commercial basis and license the data contained in its Database, they will pay a fee to get access. All money generated will be spent on upkeep costs only, with the rest distributed directly to the Creative Passports’ holders.
Can anyone else access a Creative Passport other than its holder?
Is the Creative Passport free?
Yes, the Creative Passport will be for free for all music makers and fans interested in exploring the data. We may at some point charge for add ons. Mycelia is a non-profit company and this is our gift to you. 3rd party services using the data contained in the Creative Passports for commercial purposes will pay a fee to obtain access to it.
For three years we shared our ideas and, in 2018, took the Creative Passport into its development phase. We are currently Alpha-Testing the Creative Passport App and using it to develop, refine and get more music makers and services excited about seeing it come to life, which will happen in the first half of 2019.

When will the Creative Passport be available?
The aim of the Creative Passport is to link up and be a beacon for all of the correct data about yourself, your work, your songs and your collaborations. It’s a business to business solution, linking to hundreds of 3rd party services and representatives. You keep your Creative Passport up to date and you give the world a fighting chance to keep up with you!
Why should I have to type in all my details to yet another service again?
We are working with a number of different business partners which have come on board to provide both technical and marketing support for the Creative Passport. These include organisations such as IBM, Sitra and Evenym. We encourage any prospective partners to get in touch for more information and / or to discuss new opportunities.
What other businesses are working with The Creative Passport?
The transactions that occur from these new income streams will ultimately be supported by blockchain technology and smart contracts to enable transparency and quick payment to all users of the Creative Passport. As a music maker, discovering smart contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain changed Imogen Heap's life. As a result, we have been exploring lots of blockchain solutions and, in parallel, refining our purpose in what we believe to be essentially missing in the music ecosystem. The Creative Passport was born out of this purpose. Interoperability between the Creative Passport and the other services to which it is connected is key for the whole industry, as is the need for flexibility. At the moment the Creative Passport is not 'smart contract' enabled, however this is very much in our plans for the future. We will share more information as it becomes available.
An individual's digital identity arises organically from the use of personal information and data created by actions displayed online. Currently each and every website and app is trading data information on of all our activities. As music makers every song and project we take part in, and how others interact with us, is valuable data. It is important therefore that we own - or at the very least have access to and control - our data. The Creative Passport - as a digital identity standard - provides one single place where anyone can to go to to connect, trade and collaborate with us in a fair, democratic and transparent way.
What is a digital identity standard?
