We previously knew that Jay Z staked ownership in TIDAL, but he's not the only one: as was revealed in the livestream announcement today, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Calvin Harris, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Daft Punk, Jack White, Jason Aldean, J Cole, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, Jay Z, Kanye West, Deadmau5, Madonna, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Usher all have ownership in the company. Cool.
It was also revealed that TIDAL is in partnership with the cell phone carrier Sprint, which could provide them a certain competitive edge. Stay tuned!
