Warner Music India Partners with Rthyms.Life
The union with the creator-first music ecosystem aims to amplify Indiaโs sound globally
Warner Music India has teamed with creator-first music platform Rthyms.Life to help amplify Indiaโs unique sounds on the global stage.
The deal:
Rthyms.Life offers a full-stack ecosystem for artists, in which creators retain control over every aspect of their careers, from cross collaborations and studio sessions, through to bookings and career management.
Its artists include Guru Randhawa, Savi Kahlon, Sardar Khehra, and more.
Through the partnership, Warner Music India will provide โseamless distributionโ across global platforms, leveraging its network to lift artists to the top of international and domestic charts.
Why it matters:
Rthyms.Life has headquarters in India and Dubai, two rapidly emerging markets.
As Digital Music News points out, the partnership is one of several to have been forged with the Indian music business, such as Universal Music/Republicโs JV with Visva Records; Reservoirโs Musicraft catalog buyout; and Sony Music THG India.
Rthymsโ presence in Dubai also positions it at the center of MENAโs music sector growth.
What they said:
Jay Mehta, Managing Director, Warner Music India & SAARC: โWeโre excited to partner with Rthyms.Life to support its unique creator-first music ecosystem. This also aligns with Warner Music Indiaโs ethos of creating a 360 ecosystem for artists. This collaboration will help the Rthyms team and their artists reach their full global potential.โ
Akshit Lahoria, Co-Founder of Rthyms.Life: โRthyms.Life was built on a simple belief โ that artists deserve a platform where creativity isnโt restricted, but amplified. This partnership with Warner Music India marks a new chapter in that mission. Together, weโre enabling creators to turn their stories into global sounds, ensuring their art travels farther, louder, and with the respect it truly deserves.โ
