    Imagine buying a track signed by Coldplay, forever

    In 2027 Sonify Music will open its marketplace to artists: every songwriter will be able to sell their tracks in buyout mode, setting the price freely. Imagine being able to buy forever a track signed by your favorite artists — not a sample, not a stream, but real ownership.

    Why it matters

    • Free pricing set by the artist
    • Direct payment, no opaque middlemen
    • Worldwide exclusivity: one buyer, one track
    • Verifiable, curated catalog

    The numbers speak clearly

    Today Spotify pays roughly €0.004 per stream. A track needs about 7,500 plays to net an artist the same money as a single €29.90 buyout. The Sonify model flips the math.

    Industry press confirms it

    Outlets like <a href="https://www.pmamusic.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Production Music Association</a> and <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/c/music/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">The Hollywood Reporter</a> have been tracking the same trend for years: those who treat music as a brand asset grow faster than those who treat it as a recurring cost.

    How it works

    Meanwhile you can <a href="/en#featured-tracks">open the home</a> where 12 featured tracks are fully playable — a first taste of the catalog that from 2027 will open to independent artists with free pricing.

    Mentions of Coldplay, Måneskin, Dua Lipa and other artists are illustrative only: they sketch future marketplace scenarios and do not represent existing agreements.

    In short

    In 2027 artists will sell directly: their price, your track forever.
