For independent artists, by an independent artist. Shield was founded by Kyle Larimore, an independent artist who goes by the name Kyle Larimore Music.

Shield is for independent artists who have music released or ready to be released and want to safeguard their music from unauthorized data mining.

It can be upsetting for artists to have their life’s work taken without any way to get it back. That’s why Shield exists, thanks to the math and science behind today’s audio cloaking technology which has created a way for music to be shared publicly again without the fear of it being lost or misused.

While a PRO (Performing Rights Organization) Copyright is essential for safeguarding your musical IP (Intellectual Property) from theft, they’re no longer the sole source of IP protection. Your music is vulnerable to being stolen and used to train AI music generators without your consent. Shield is like a protection plan for your music and uses advanced cloaking technology, designed to scramble mainstream AI training systems and shield your identity from AI without affecting the quality of your music.
