This & That

The New Music2Deal Is Live

A clearer design, improved usability and a stronger focus on real music business opportunities.

Music2Deal has been updated — and the new version is now live.

With the latest improvements, Music2Deal is even more focused on what makes the platform valuable for music professionals worldwide: helping them connect, stay connected and discover real business opportunities.

Music2Deal is often described as “the LinkedIn for music professionals” — but it goes one step further. It is not only about building contacts. It is about staying informed when someone in your music business network is offering something, looking for something or creating a new opportunity.

Connect with music professionals worldwide

Music2Deal connects more than 18,000 music professionals from over 160 countries, including labels, publishers, A&R managers, producers, managers, licensors, songwriters, artists, recording studios, booking agencies and many other professionals from the music industry.

Whether you are looking for new contacts, artists, songs, licensing opportunities, producers, managers or business partners, Music2Deal helps you find the right people in a dedicated music business environment.

Stay connected about music opportunities

In the music business, contacts are important — but staying informed is even more important.

You may already be connected with hundreds or thousands of people on different platforms. But do you really know what they are currently offering or looking for?

That is where Music2Deal makes the difference.

When your contacts post new offers or requests, you can be informed via your feed and email notifications. At the same time, your own network can be automatically informed about your latest opportunities.

This helps music professionals not only build a network, but also use that network for real business.

Built for the music industry

Unlike general social networks, Music2Deal was created specifically for the music business.

The platform combines professional networking with a dedicated marketplace for music opportunities. Members can present themselves, share offers and needs, discover matches and stay updated about what is happening inside their music business network.

The new Music2Deal makes this even clearer, easier and more focused.

Connect. Stay connected. Close deals.

The idea behind Music2Deal is simple:

Connect.
Stay connected.
Close deals.

The new version of Music2Deal is live now.
