With this new launch, all of ROSTR’s offerings, including contacts, intelligence, jobs, and news, will be available in one unified product
Today, The ROSTR Group, the independent music media and technology company, launches ROSTR 2.0, the biggest upgrade since its founding in 2018. This totally redesigned platform will provide a single destination for real-time music industry directory updates, new jobs from top companies, breaking news, and music services for everything from distributors to podcasts to publicists.
The product:
ROSTR 2.0 will use a new, faster interface built on a new technology foundation.
Artist profiles have been expanded to include bios, demographics, and audience data.
Touring and festival data will now be readily available.
Jobs by ROSTR will feature an improved search function, filters by location, and a simpler application process.
Stack by ROSTR will be rebranded as the new Services tab.
Resources and information on everything from distributors and PR firms to sync agencies and podcasts will be equally robust.

563,000 people used ROSTR products in the past year, representing 62% YoY growth.
There are 120,000 monthly active users on the platform with over 400 enterprise customers.
122,000 applications were made through Jobs by ROSTR in 2025.
Jobs by ROSTR has grown to become the largest dedicated job board in the music industry.
New Industry Focus, ROSTR’s publication wing, has amassed a social media reach of millions of users and over 30,000 monthly readers.
Background:
ROSTR remains 100% independent.
ROSTR 2.0 was funded by reinvesting in its mission.
This is the biggest investment in the company's history.

What they said:
Mark Williamson, Co-Founder & CEO, ROSTR: “When we started ROSTR, our mission was to help create a more modern, connected, and fair music industry. It was an ambitious goal — but one I’m now confident we’re actually achieving. With ROSTR 2.0, we’re making our biggest investment ever to go even further.”
