Artist Biographies

Where do the biographies for people come from ? I don’t actually read the metadata descriptions that much but a few Ive read talk about people in the past tense. Ive just clicked on T-Bone Burnett and it reads as though he had died, I had to google to double check. The last paragraph talks about how “Burnett remained”

Its not an issue to me I’m just curious

Is this a result of writing in ‘The Third Person’?

No not Third Person, they are using the past tense. Came across a few more yesterday, makes me wonder if theyre being compiled by some sort of bot

Artist bio’s come from Rovi, the people behind Allmusic.com. It’s the same artist bio you can read on Tidal and on the Allmusic.com website.
