Work With Us

Water & Music has been publishing pioneering insights on music-tech innovation since 2019 - translating our comprehensive, no-stones-unturned approach to market research into prescient curation of the key trends that matter for music-industry professionals today.

We'd love to collaborate with your organization on putting these insights to work. From emerging startups to the world's largest music rights holders, tech companies, trade bodies, and institutional investment firms, we work with a wide range of companies to help future-proof their strategies, differentiate their product offerings, and stay ahead of the curve in music-industry innovation.

Why
Water & Music?

Our early-adopter, tech-forward perspective. We're consistently early to report on emerging music-tech trends and cultures, with a technical rigor typically overlooked by the traditional industry press.

Our bird's-eye view. We're systems thinkers by training — deeply curious not just about individual companies or one-off successes, but also about the wider value chains and incentive structures that underpin the industry as a whole.

Our network. Our research team has decades of experience combined across every sector in the music business, and entrepreneurs regularly leverage the Water & Music community as a launching pad for some of the most exciting projects in music and tech — building business theses, finding employees and co-founders, and securing funding.
