A storehouse of his unused tracks, Gemtracks soon grew to be a successful start up with interest from music artists increasing its digital influence. When Jesse’s tunes were picked up as high as $600, he knew he had a hold on something that he could leverage further.

The buyer is free to use the beats as is or mixed with other beats, opening the doorway to a million possibilities. This is one of the reasons why the beats may be priced a little higher. To add to that, once beats are sold on Gemtracks, they are permanently deleted. No one else can buy it.
