The $50 million partnership, completed on May 6, 2025, empowers Intercept Music to acquire music catalogs with significant revenue potential. The funding aligns with the company’s vision to serve as a global portal for independent artists, offering tools to maximize earnings through streaming, sync, and licensing. Flexible deal structures allow Intercept to acquire full or partial rights while fostering collaboration with original creators and rights holders, ensuring mutual benefit.
Intercept’s proprietary technology, including predictive analytics and a targeted marketing portal, will amplify the value of acquired catalogs. By identifying under-leveraged assets, the platform enhances audience reach and revenue across digital channels. “This is more than just a funding deal—it’s a commitment to restructuring music rights management,” cites Tod Turner, CEO of Intercept Music. This approach positions Intercept to unlock new opportunities for artists and songwriters in the competitive music industry.
The partnership emphasizes expansion into the rapidly growing U.S. and Latin music markets, where Latin music accounts for nearly 10% of U.S. music sales and is growing at over 25% annually. Intercept’s focus on these regions leverages the increasing demand for Latin genres on streaming platforms, ensuring artists benefit from enhanced distribution and marketing. “This partnership is a significant endorsement of our platform and strategy allowing us to combine capital with cutting-edge technology to unlock more value for artists, songwriters, and catalog owners, while accelerating our growth into the Latin and U.S. markets,” Turner added.
Intercept’s founder and chairman, Ralph Tashjian, a co-investor in the partnership, emphasized the transformative potential of the deal. “This is a bold statement about Intercept’s vision for the future of music catalog management,” notes Tashjian. “By pairing institutional-grade funding with our technology-driven distribution and marketing platform, Intercept is establishing a new standard for how catalogs are valued, managed, and monetized.” The company’s catalog management division is already reviewing initial acquisitions, with plans to deploy capital immediately.
