Jamendo

Jamendo S.A. is a prominent online platform for the distribution and licensing of independent music, founded in 2004 and based in Luxembourg City. Initially established under Creative Commons, it provided an alternative to traditional copyright models, allowing users to listen to and share music legally and for free. With over 700,000 tracks and a community of 45,000 independent artists, Jamendo has become one of the largest independent music platforms globally. It offers a variety of royalty-free music selections for personal and commercial use, including genres suitable for corporate projects, advertising, and public spaces. To facilitate monetization for artists, Jamendo launched its licensing program, now known as Jamendo Licensing, which enables businesses to use its music in audiovisual projects. By connecting musicians with fans and providing a marketplace for their work, Jamendo supports the independent music community while generating revenue through advertising and partnerships. The company became a subsidiary of AudioValley in 2010, further enhancing its resources and capabilities in the digital music landscape.
