Duetti

Duetti announced today $114m of new funding through both equity and debt. In just over two years, we closed over $235m in funding for independent artists. Our new funding includes $34m of new equity and $80m of new debt financing. The equity round was led by Flexpoint Ford, alongside our existing investors Nyca Partners and Viola Ventures. The $80m of debt financing was provided via a privately rated asset-back securitization, which was structured and placed by Barclays. We have now partnered with over 500 artists across all genres and from over 30 countries, and are thrilled to continue and expand the financial options and marketing services available to the independent music community. Our deals typically range from $10K all the way up to $3m per artist. We are hiring for several roles across departments - check our job page to apply.

Our marketing lead dives into the Duetti playlist network - one of several programs specifically designed to improve the performance of your music.

I am looking forward to attending A2IM (American Association of Independent Music)’s Indie Week next week in NYC - and to taking part in a panel discussion on Thursday (6/13 at 12.15pm) re “maximizing your catalog”. I plan to discuss a number of strategies Duetti has been successfully deploying for marketing catalogs to new audiences. Please join the conversation if you are able to!

Able Heart - one of Duetti’s artist partners - and I spoke last week with Oisin Lunny at HARMAN International’s Audio Talk podcast on our respective journeys in the music industry as well as on Duetti’s unique offering for independent artists. Able referred to our proposition as “phenomenal” and explained how it made a “huge difference” for his career. We are excited to receive such a vote of confidence and looking forward to continue exploring additional opportunities!

🎉🤠 Duetti hosted earlier this week our first ever artist showcase in Nashville! We were excited to connect with current and prospective artist partners and their teams, alongside industry and financing partners who were in town for the annual music biz conference. We were particularly thrilled to feature three fantastic artists - Spencer Crandall, Gatton and Kathleen Regan - alongside DJ Merchant. We are working hard on additional in person experiences for the rest of the year - watch this space for further announcements. #musicbiz

Today we announce $90M in new funding to support independent artists, including $15M of equity and a new $75M credit facility. Duetti exists to unlock immediate cash flow for independent artists through fair, flexible, and transparent master sales. In the 10 months since our public launch, we’ve become a trusted ally for over 250 artists across all genres and career stages. This new funding allows us to expand our reach even further, broadening the scope of our team and investing in marketing capabilities to best serve our artist partners. As part of this funding, we are expanding our data and A&R teams. Find open roles on our page. #Music #MusicIndustry #MusicBusiness #FinTech #FinTechNews

The average independent artist spends 26% of their income on distribution. While paying low fixed fees to full DIY services would enable artists to earn more, distribution is the only way to access value-add services like advances & playlist pitching for many artists.
