Is meditation music really more valuable than regular ambient music?

Meditation music often commands a premium because it serves a functional purpose aligned with the rapidly growing wellness market. Meditation app usage is growing 15-20% annually, and these platforms need high-quality content. Additionally, meditation music listeners demonstrate exceptionally high engagement (long sessions, daily use), which translates to strong streaming revenue per listener.

What wellness platforms count toward my catalog valuation?

We aggregate revenue from all sources: streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music), meditation-specific platforms (Insight Timer, YouTube meditation channels), direct licensing to wellness businesses (yoga studios, spas), and any app licensing deals. All revenue contributes to your overall valuation.

Can I ensure my meditation music isn't used for inappropriate purposes after the sale?

Yes. We support deal structures that include licensing use restrictions. You can specify that the music may only be used in wellness, meditation, and relaxation contexts, preventing its use in advertising, political content, or other applications that conflict with its intended purpose.

Sell Your Meditation Music Catalog — The Wellness Market Is Buying

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.

Challenges you might face

●Traditional music industry valuations don't account for the wellness market premium your music commands
●Licensing opportunities with meditation apps (Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer) are complex to navigate alone
●Revenue from wellness-specific platforms (Insight Timer, meditation YouTube channels) is hard to aggregate into a valuation
●Uncertain how to value music that serves a functional purpose (aiding meditation) versus entertainment
●Difficulty protecting your music from unauthorized use in YouTube meditation videos and sleep streams
●No marketplace understands the intersection of music rights and the wellness industry
●Concerned that a buyer might strip away the intentional healing qualities of your music for generic commercial use

Example scenario

A meditation music creator with 150 tracks — including guided meditation underscores, binaural beat compositions, and nature-ambient soundscapes — was generating $22,000/year from Spotify ($10,000), Insight Timer ($5,000), YouTube Content ID ($4,000), and direct licensing to two yoga studio chains ($3,000). Traditional valuations at 10x suggested $220,000, but SpaceMusic.io's wellness-aware methodology recognized the catalog's alignment with the $130B global meditation market, the creator's established Insight Timer following (50,000+ listeners), and the functional design of the compositions. The catalog was valued at 14x, and a wellness-focused investment fund acquired 100% for $308,000. The creator used the proceeds to launch a wellness music production course and began building a new catalog.
