Solutions by creator type
We work with all kinds of mood and soundscape music creators. Find the approach that fits your situation.
The Ambient Music Producer
You create expansive, atmospheric soundscapes — drones, pads, field recordings woven into immersive audio experiences. Your catalog may include hundreds of tracks spanning albums, EPs, singles, and extended ambient pieces. You've built a dedicated listener base on Spotify's ambient playlists, Bandcamp, and niche communities. Your music generates steady streaming revenue with remarkably stable month-over-month performance, and you've noticed growing interest from wellness apps, YouTube creators, and meditation platforms looking to license your work. You know your catalog has value, but you're unsure how to quantify it or find the right buyer who appreciates the unique qualities of ambient music.
The Lo-Fi Beat Maker
You craft warm, nostalgic, vinyl-crackle beats that soundtrack millions of study sessions, coffee shop moments, and late-night creative flows. Your catalog might include hundreds or even thousands of lo-fi beats distributed across streaming platforms, YouTube channels, and beat licensing platforms. Lo-fi hip-hop is one of the most-streamed micro-genres on Spotify and YouTube, with channels like Lofi Girl drawing tens of millions of regular listeners. Your beats generate revenue from multiple sources: streaming royalties, YouTube Content ID claims, beat licensing sales, and sync placements. But managing this complex web of revenue streams while continuing to produce new beats is overwhelming, and you're curious about whether your catalog could be worth more as a packaged asset than as a collection of individual income streams.
The Meditation Music Creator
You create purpose-built music for meditation, mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and relaxation. Your tracks are carefully designed with specific frequencies, tempos, and sonic characteristics that support contemplative practices — binaural beats, solfeggio frequencies, nature soundscapes layered with gentle instrumentation, and extended ambient pieces that guide listeners through meditation sessions. Your audience is deeply engaged: they play your music on repeat during daily practice, subscribe to your Insight Timer or YouTube channel, and recommend your work within wellness communities. The global wellness market is worth over $5 trillion and growing, and meditation app usage has exploded — creating enormous demand for high-quality meditation music. Your catalog sits at the intersection of music and wellness, giving it unique value that traditional music industry metrics may underestimate.
The Independent Artist & Catalog Owner
You've been releasing music independently for years — maybe a decade or more. You own your masters, you own your publishing, and you've built a catalog that generates consistent streaming revenue. You distribute through DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby, collect your own royalties, and manage your own rights. Independence has given you full ownership, but it's also given you full responsibility. You handle metadata, registrations, Content ID disputes, distributor issues, and tax accounting — on top of actually creating music. Your catalog may include 50, 200, or 500+ tracks across multiple albums, EPs, and singles. You know this catalog has real financial value, but you've never had it professionally valued, and you don't know where to begin exploring a sale or partial monetization.
The Producer Ready to Retire
You've had a fulfilling career creating music — perhaps decades of producing ambient, electronic, lo-fi, or meditation tracks. Your catalog represents years of creative work and generates a steady stream of passive income. But you're ready for a change. Maybe you want to retire fully, pursue a different creative passion, focus on family, or simply stop dealing with the business side of music. Your catalog is your most valuable asset, and selling it could provide the financial foundation for your next chapter. But the prospect of navigating a catalog sale — valuations, buyers, contracts, tax implications — feels overwhelming, especially if you've been focused on the creative side of music for your entire career.
The Side Project Musician
Music isn't your primary income — you have a day job, another business, or other creative pursuits that occupy most of your time. But over the years, you've accumulated a catalog of ambient, lo-fi, or electronic music that you created as a passion project, side hustle, or creative outlet. Maybe you went through an intense production phase and released several albums, or you consistently dropped tracks over a few years before life pulled you in other directions. These tracks still generate some streaming revenue — maybe a few hundred or a few thousand dollars per year — but you rarely think about them, and you've stopped actively promoting or releasing new music. Your catalog is a dormant asset: it has value, but it's not being maximized, and managing it feels like a chore for something that's no longer a priority.
The Sync Licensing Composer
You compose music specifically for licensing — TV shows, films, commercials, video games, YouTube content, corporate videos, and mobile apps. You may work through sync agents, music libraries, or directly with music supervisors. Your catalog is built for function: tracks are meticulously tagged with mood, tempo, instrumentation, and use-case metadata. You provide stems, alternate mixes, and multiple versions of each composition to maximize placement potential. Your revenue comes from a combination of upfront sync fees, backend performance royalties (collected through your PRO when placements air), and potentially streaming royalties if your music is also distributed to consumer platforms. Managing a sync-focused catalog involves juggling relationships with multiple libraries, agents, and direct clients, tracking cue sheets, and ensuring your PRO registrations are complete for every placement.
The Wellness App Soundtrack Creator
You create music specifically designed for wellness applications — meditation apps, yoga platforms, sleep aids, breathwork guides, fitness apps, and mental health tools. Your work goes beyond traditional music production: you design soundscapes with specific therapeutic intentions, matching tempos to breathing patterns, incorporating frequency-based elements like binaural beats, and crafting progressions that guide users through specific wellness experiences. Your music might be licensed to platforms like Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer, or Peloton, or you might have developed soundtracks for smaller, independent wellness apps. You understand that your music isn't just entertainment — it's a functional component of a wellness product, and its value should reflect that functional role. The wellness app market is growing at 15-20% annually, and your catalog of purpose-built wellness music is an asset that's becoming more valuable every year.
