FUCK. Rob was incredible, thanklessly struggling against the major labels for the last 26 years to curate one of the most important databases of our age.
It is with profound sadness that the MetaBrainz Board of Directors announces the unexpected passing of our Founder and Executive Director, Robert Kaye.
Robert’s vision and leadership shaped MetaBrainz and left a lasting mark on the music industry and open source movement. His contributions were significant and his loss is deeply felt across our global community.
