Music Licensing Marketplace SourceAudio Teams with Symphonic

SourceAudio, a sync platform and leader in large-scale, fully-cleared music licensing for AI training, has partnered with Symphonic, the Florida-headquartered independent music distribution and marketing company.

The deal:

• Symphonic artists and labels can opt in and participate in SourceAudio’s AI music dataset licensing marketplace.

• Music used in AI training is fully licensed and compensated.

• Participation from Symphonic artists is optional, and artists retain full ownership of their rights.

AI training:

• SourceAudio claims its music marketplace contains 14 million opted-in songs, aggregated from its network of over 3,000 music catalogs.

• The company says these tracks are used to deliver diverse, high-quality datasets tailored to real-world commercial use cases.

• SourceAudio has closed eight contracts since Q3 2025 worth nearly $10 million in annual revenue, and says it is holding more than $20 million in new annual recurring revenue in term sheets and contracts expected to close by Q2 2026.

• Its partners include ElevenLabs, Music AI, Native Instruments and Serato, among others.

What they said:

• Jorge Brea, CEO at Symphonic: “We're always looking for new ways to bring in more revenue for our artists, and SourceAudio's AI music dataset licensing marketplace checks all the boxes. Not only will our artists make more money if they opt in, but they have full control over whether to do so, as we fully believe that no one's art should be used without their express permission and fair compensation.”
