Who are the Lyrics Curators?

Lyrics Curators are the  most passionate and active community members, selected on the merit of their contributions.

They have been spotted for the high quality of their transcribed lyrics, for the high commitment to the Musixmatch mission (build the world's largest lyrics catalogue), and for their interactions with other community members.

This includes providing feedback to other contributors, participating in Slack discussions, helping mentor new users, and praising great content.

You can spot them by looking for the curator label on their profile on the Musixmatch website.

  • Curator label
