Royalty Services Coordinator

Tone makes royalty processing simple for modern record labels and everyone who earns money from music. Our intuitive software makes it simple for a lean team to process royalties, and our team of royalty experts is always available to provide support to labels and artists of all sizes. We imagine a future where artists have the freedom to pursue their creative vision and the confidence that they’re being paid fairly for their work. Tone is the platform turning that future into reality. 

Coming from the team that built Stem Distribution, Tone is the product of nearly a decade of experience offering best-in-class financial tools to artists and labels. We’ve seen firsthand the impact of paying artists and their collaborators in a clear and timely manner, and we want to empower all artists to expect nothing less. Our mission is to bring a modern finance framework to music professionals, and we’re just getting started.

We’re trusted by artist-run labels and imprints like A-Trak's Fool's Gold Records and 3LAU's Blume Records, and global music brands like Quality Control and COLORS Studios. We’re led by a driven & collaborative team from diverse backgrounds, including senior professionals from Spotify, UTA, Hired, and Apple Music. Our group of investors and strategic advisors includes Carta CEO Henry Ward, Quality Control Music co-founder and COO Kevin "Coach K" Lee, and QED Investors partner Frank Rotman. Our employees include musicians, parents, activists, artists, and more. We’re united by our shared values, commitment to exceptional partnership, and fierce belief in our mission to build solutions that improve the music industry for all.

Our growing Royalty Services team is solving the burden of royalty calculations for independent record labels and making it easier for artists to forecast, collect, and manage what they’re owed. We have years of experience building intuitive financial tools for artists and labels and now we’re applying that expertise to one of the most tedious tasks in the music industry. When we’re done, labels will have more insight into their business, and artists will get paid on time. Trust us—it takes a lot of technology to make it sound so simple.
