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

They have been spotted for the high quality of their transcribed lyrics, for their 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 the successes of other contributors.

You can spot thanks to the Curator label on their profile on the Musixmatch website.

✅ Lyrics Curator privileges:

A Curator’s status reflects the quality of their lyrics, and this is a quality that needs to be maintained! Curator status’ can and will be revoked if necessary. Please always make sure you are following the Writing Guidelines, Curator Pledge, and Community Behavior Policy.

😃 Things we encourage lyrics curators to do:

  • Consistently contribute high-quality lyrics

  • Post new lyrics when a song drops, add old songs we’re missing, and correct existing lyrics contributions

  • Lead, inspire, and mentor other contributors

  • Be active on Slack
