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.ifpi.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">IFPI</a> and <a href="https://www.euipo.europa.eu/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">EUIPO</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.
Ready to own your track?
Whenever you’re ready, <a href="/en/pricing">see the buyout price</a> or <a href="/en/catalog">browse the catalog</a>: pick a track and take it home forever with a single €29.90 payment.
