Vinyl Group
Vinyl Group launches with a promise to become the heartbeat of an equitable music world, providing tech solutions that connect and give credit to the global creator economy. Vinyl Group functions as an umbrella brand that incorporates the company’s three core brands: Jaxsta, Vampr and Vinyl.com. The Jaxsta music credits business continues to be the single source of truth and is committed to solving the industry's metadata problem. Jaxsta's data is mapped to the world's charts and provides world-first insights, including custom repertoire reports, to ensure organisations correctly map ownership and subsequent revenue distribution. Vampr, meanwhile, is the world’s leading music industry social-professional network and talent marketplace, helping 1.3M musicians, creatives and artists connect, discover collaborators and monetise their work in over 180 countries. Vampr generates its revenues from premium creator subscriptions and native in-app advertising. The iconic Vinyl.com URL offers a world-class e-commerce experience including over 50K titles for fans to acquire, supporting their favourite artists. Powered by Jaxsta credits, the record store is chart accredited for Billboard and ARIA, includes track previews on every album page, and is designed to replicate the sensory experience of ‘crate-digging’ that all treasure-hunting record collectors crave. Vinyl Group is committed to supporting creators from bedroom to turntable, leveraging the network effect of fans and creators with community-focused platforms and services.
