Financing platform Xposure Music raises $42.5 million in funding

Xposure Music has secured $42.5 million in new debt and equity funding. 

Founded in Montreal in 2021, Xposure Music is a technology-driven financing and investment platform for independent music rights

The funding round includes debt financing from Andalusian Credit Partners and equity participation from select family offices and private investors. This brings Xposure Music’s total funding to over $50m.

“We’re thrilled to work with Andalusian as partners in our mission to become one of the world’s leading independent catalogue buyers,” said Ryan Garber, co-founder and co-CEO of Xposure Music. “Our goal is to continue to serve as the gateway for emerging artists to access meaningful funding and take their careers to the next level, and this investment gives us the resources to make that possible.”

Access to financing has become a key issue for independent artists. Xposure Music aims to address this through their proprietary underwriting and valuation platform, allowing artists to access financing on their catalogue. They can also access marketing programmes and connect directly with the company’s network of A&Rs, managers and producers.

“Independent artists should have access to the same level of financing and deal structures that were once limited to major stars,” said Gregory Walfish, co-founder and co-CEO of Xposure Music. “With this new capital and our underwriting technology, we are doubling down on our mission to be long-term partners for the next generation of independent artists.”

The funding announcement follows Xposure Music partnering with distribution platform Too Lost, in order to accelerate acquisitions and distribution of independent music catalogues. 

In the past 18 months, Xposure Music has deployed funding to support nearly 100 artists. 

“With this new infusion of capital, the company plans to scale its efforts, funding additional artists and acquiring catalogues at a larger volume,” said a statement.
