Deezer’s new royalty system aims to pay artists more and they’ve just expanded it to more indie musicians.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a bid to pay artists more, Deezer announced a transformation of their royalty payouts last year. They are working with two major labels Warner Music Group<\/a> and Universal Music Group<\/a>, as well as publishing rights business Sacem<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deezer have now announced the renewal of their partnership with independent digital music licensing partner Merlin. Their collaboration brings Merlin under Deezer’s new artist centric royalty model, rewarding their members of independent record labels, distributors, and rightsholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merlin CEO, Jeremy Sirota said: “I\u2019m very happy to see that Merlin and its members are embracing Deezer\u2019s artist centric model and joining us in redefining artist remuneration in the streaming era, to make sure artists are paid more fairly for their music. From the start, our ambition has been that the new model should serve all artists with a consistent fan base, including the indie acts represented by the membership of Merlin.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
