The music royalty business is evolving fast in 2025, and creatives are leading the way. From streaming and sync to short-form content and fan platforms, monetization now spans formats, regions, and timelines.
In Music Week’s Royalties Report, industry experts weigh in on how tech, transparency, and innovation are shaping the future of rights management.
Austin Jacobs, FCA, Partner at Prager Metis, offers insights on market resilience and investor confidence: “Despite earlier concerns around catalogue valuations, the sustained interest from private equity and institutional investors has helped maintain strong asset values. Additionally, recent price increases by streaming platforms have not deterred subscriber growth, which is an encouraging sign for the long-term stability and revenue potential of music rights.”
This is a moment of opportunity, and with the right partners, artists can maximize their profits.
The royalty report also includes insights from Sound Royalties, PRS for Music, Audoo, Utopia Music, and PPL, all contributing to a broader conversation on how artists can thrive in a rapidly changing royalties’ landscape.
