Tuned Global, the B2B music licensing platform that works with podcasters and radio, among other industries, has inked a global licensing agreement with Universal Music Group giving it access to the catalogue of recorded music from some of the most popular artists in the world.

This expansion of their existing partnership will provide an integrated route to market for Tuned Global clients who wish to use music to bring their projects to life.

The deal builds on the two companies’ long-standing relationship; Tuned Global already has a direct content feed from UMG and hosts their repertoire on a cloud-based infrastructure, delivering music to a global list of clients.

“This partnership is designed to provide a consolidated route to market for promising music projects and companies who reach out to Tuned Global, wanting to access UMG’s recorded music catalogue, but unsure who to reach out to,” says Con Raso, Tuned Global’s Managing Director. “Using this agreement, they can get their project off the ground through one point of contact, Tuned Global. We believe this will turn more exciting ideas in music into realities.”

Under the expanded agreement, Tuned Global says its clients will now be able to access technological expertise and licensing support for UMG recorded music in one place. The platform’s technology will also allow the user to target specific repertoires, such as Afrobeats, pop, or jazz. And the partnership will allow for UMG sound recordings to be licensed and delivered securely, with usage reports generated and royalties calculated.

“We’re excited about the opportunities that will be created by this new global licensing agreement. In expanding our partnership with Tuned Global, we are pleased to now integrate the licensing of UMG’s catalogue of recorded music into Tuned Global’s suite of technological solutions,” UMG Senior VP James Healy said in a statement. “This new way of working will help to enable ideas to be enhanced by UMG repertoire all over the world.”

Tuned Global says it has a catalogue of more than 120 million tracks. In addition to working with podcasters and radio, it also licenses music for audiobooks, video and live streaming as it works with more than 500 streaming services.
