# Six Degrees

Pick two names. The shortest route between them, through bands, sessions and even mixers and engineers if we have to.

How does this work?

Kapell plays your Apple Music® library, but this tool only uses data from MusicBrainz, for licensing reasons. The legalese is in the footer.

About this data

Six Degrees uses a graph of band memberships and the people credited on records — producers, writers, musicians, mixers, engineers and mastering… people. It is rebuilt from MusicBrainz every week, unless I break something…

Attribution

Credit data comes from [MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/), the open music encyclopedia, released under CC0. MusicBrainz is a project of the MetaBrainz Foundation. Kapell is not affiliated with it, but is a big fan.

A credit missing or wrong? Y'all can fix it!
