One platform for distribution, publishing
& label services.
Next Music Group brings distribution, publishing, and label services together under one roof — so music moves from first release to worldwide stage without losing momentum, or ownership.
A modern independent music company built for every catalog — big or small.
Founded in 2021, Next Music Group is a modern independent music company built for record labels, distributors, and independent artists alike — bringing distribution, publishing, artist development, and brand partnerships together under one roof.
We believe every label and every artist deserves access to world-class tools, transparent royalties, and global opportunities — regardless of size or backing. Our mission is to help catalogs of every scale grow sustainably while keeping full ownership of the music.
Everything a label or an independent artist needs, under one roof.
From a single independent release to a full label catalog — each service is available on its own or bundled as part of a complete Next Music Group partnership.

Built for Every Scale
The same infrastructure serves a single independent release and a full label catalog — no tier you'll outgrow.
Full Rights Ownership
Masters and publishing rights stay with the artist or label — we administer, we don't acquire.
Royalty Transparency
Clear, itemized statements every month, down to the platform and territory.
A Real Point of Contact
Every partner is paired with a manager who knows the catalog — not a rotating support queue.
Fast, Flexible Releases
Live on platforms in as little as 2–7 days, scheduled on your timeline, not ours.
No Long-Term Lock-In
Straightforward terms artist by artist or catalog-wide — no hidden exclusivity traps.
Global Rights Collection
Royalties registered and collected across every territory we operate in — nothing left unclaimed.
Proactive Copyright Protection
Active monitoring and takedowns so unauthorized use of the catalog doesn't go unchecked.
Real-Time Dashboards
Streaming and audience data available on demand — for one release or an entire roster.
Distributed Everywhere Your Fans Listen
Reach audiences across more than 150 digital streaming platforms worldwide.
From signing to global reach, in four moves.
Sign & develop
A&R identifies artists and writers worth building around, then shapes a release and creative plan together with them.
Release & distribute
Marketing and distribution take the work to every major platform and retailer, on a schedule you control.
Collect & license
Publishing registers every work worldwide and pursues sync placements so royalties are collected in full, everywhere.
Monitor & defend
We watch for unauthorized use and piracy and issue takedowns, so the catalog stays protected as it grows.

Labels & artists on working with Next.
A few words from the people whose catalogs we run alongside.
Next never made me choose between staying independent and having a real team behind me. My masters are still mine — everything else just got easier.
Royalty statements used to take weeks to make sense of. With Next, I can see exactly what's owed and where it's coming from, every month.
Our sync placement came through their publishing team within a month of signing. That kind of speed usually only happens at the majors.
