Xposure Music, the Canada-born music financing company specializing in independent music rights, has secured a significant infusion of capital. The firm announced it has raised USD $42.5 million in new debt and equity funding, immediately escalating its capacity for catalog acquisition.
This latest round, which includes debt financing from Andalusian Credit Partners and participation from private investors, brings Xposure Music’s total funding to more than $50 million.
Technology Fuels Acquisitions
Founded in Montreal in 2021, Xposure Music operates as a technology-driven investment platform. The company utilizes proprietary valuation models and machine-learning underwriting to analyze recorded music and publishing rights. This technological edge is key to identifying and executing profitable music investments.
The company reports that it has already deployed “over eight figures” into independent catalogs across various genres. In the past 18 months alone, it has deployed funding to nearly 100 artists.
With the new capital, Xposure plans to significantly scale its efforts. The funds will be used for acquiring catalogs at a larger volume and increasing the number of artists they support.
Partnership and Mission
The funding announcement follows Xposure Music’s recent strategic partnership with the independent music distribution platform Too Lost. Under this agreement, Xposure handles the crucial deal sourcing and financial underwriting, while Too Lost provides global distribution, royalty processing, and co-funding for acquisitions. Xposure plans to deploy “tens of millions of dollars in upcoming catalog acquisitions” through this arrangement.
The company’s mission is clear: to bridge a critical financing gap for independent artists. Co-CEO Gregory Walfish stated that independent artists “should have access to the same level of financing and deal structures that were once limited to major stars.”
Co-CEO Ryan Garber added that the goal is to serve as the “gateway for emerging artists to access meaningful funding” and take their careers to the next level, cementing Xposure’s ambition to become one of the world’s leading independent catalog buyers.
