Our take
The independent music market has been on a steady rise for several years now, but it can still be incredibly difficult for indie artists to monetise their work. Step in Duetti, a company supplying a way for smaller artists to sell their catalogues, individual tracks, or even parts of tracks - an opportunity traditionally reserved for A-list artists.
The idea behind the platform is simple, with Duetti supplying cash payment in return for as many masters as an artist would like to sell. Already serving upwards of 250 artists, and with $200 million awarded in early 2026, it plans to develop its tech infrastructure, market presence and services.
