How selling your catalog works
Three steps to cash in the bank.

01
Submit your catalog
A few minutes of questions about your music, your ownership and your royalty statements.
What you need to qualify
Around 15,000 monthly listeners — a floor we're flexible about, not a hard cut-off.
You own your masters and have the right to sell them. Collaborators are fine if you know the splits.
02
Receive your offer
You will receive an offer from us detailing a track by track valuation.
03
Customise your deal
You choose whether the whole catalog moves or a percentage of it, and you control that percentage. Nothing is committed until you say so.
Then
We handle the transfer and you keep creating
Legal transfer, distribution migration and the ongoing maintenance of the catalog. We stay the long-term partner for the catalog, while you go make the next record.
We invest globally, fast, and we keep things simple.
Your call
Sell the share you choose
Full catalog sale or partial, and the percentage is yours to set. Some artists move everything. Some sell a share and keep the rest.
Based on your numbers
Valuations built on actual performance
We read your streaming history — what the catalog earns and how it earns it. Where you're from and who you know doesn't matter.
Nothing deducted
Paid within days of signing
Days, not quarters. No arrangement fees, no admin costs, nothing taken out of the amount you agreed.
After the sale
We optimise the catalogs we buy
Pitching, playlisting, sync, metadata, your releases are kept healthy and your exposure as an artist increases.
Artists we work with
We've backed hundreds of artists around the world
