Duetti Raises $200M to Close the $160B Gap in Independent Music Financing

"As independent music reaches $160B in market value and commands nearly half of the global music industry, a critical disconnect persists: while indie creators now generate 47% of all recorded music revenue, catalog financing remains concentrated among the top 1% of artists. This gap forces emerging and mid-tier creators to choose between waiting years for streaming royalties that may never materialize at scale or signing away their rights through exploitative deals with hidden terms and recoupment structures."

"Duetti addresses this structural inequality by enabling independent artists earning as little as $2,000 annually to access immediate capital through transparent catalog sales - from single tracks to entire collections - without debt, recoupment, or creative control strings attached. The platform pairs this financial flexibility with active catalog management and marketing services including a 5M+ follower playlist network and customized growth programs, creating a model that accelerates rather than constrains artistic careers."
