Why Music Royalties?
An alternative income stream with distinct characteristics that sets it apart from traditional markets.
Distinct Income Stream
Music royalties represent a stream of income generated by recorded music consumption. Historically, these royalties have behaved independently of traditional public markets, as they are tied to listening activity rather than equity or credit conditions.
Broad Range of Sources
On Sonomo, thousands of individual assets are available. This allows users to construct exposure sets that avoid concentration in a single artist, platform, format, or geography.
Historical Resilience
Income generated by recorded music has shown low correlation with broad market movements during historical periods of volatility. In addition, royalty rates often respond to inflation dynamics.
Designed for Diversification
Music royalties are not a substitute for traditional markets. Many users view them as one component within a broader mix of exposures — specifically because they behave differently.
Observed Yield
By building a highly diverse portfolio of "mid-market artists", Sonomo investors are able to earn higher yields on a risk-adjusted basis.

Legal Structure & Protections
Designed for transparency, security, and simplicity.
Each share represents a contractual claim on royalty income linked to a specific master recording. While original rights remain with the creator, your claim to the income stream is legally secured.
When royalties are collected, earnings are automatically distributed to holders in proportion to their shares. Distributions depend on actual streaming performance, offering a direct link to the asset's success.
Governed by Dutch civil law, these claims are not classified as regulated financial instruments. Share prices are determined by marketplace activity, not Sonomo. We facilitate the trading platform and administer royalty distributions.
Note on Risk: Investment in royalty shares involves risk. Earnings and asset prices fluctuate based on market activity and streaming performance. Prices are determined by the marketplace, not set by Sonomo. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. For complete details on our legal framework and data policies, please review our Terms & Conditions.
