Tuned Global

Tuned Global is a business-to-business music and audio streaming technology provider that supplies cloud-based backend infrastructure, APIs, SDKs and white-label applications so that enterprises and startups can embed licensed music or launch full streaming services. Its product set spans branded (white-label) apps, catalogue delivery and ingestion covering metadata, assets and rights management, documented streaming APIs, a playlisting/curation tool that enforces licensing constraints, structured metadata and AI tagging, music licensing consultancy, and an ecosystem of third-party integrations. Two SDK products are marketed separately: AutomixIQ, which creates DJ-style transitions between songs, and Social Radio, which adds live broadcasting and real-time interaction — including a real-time tipping feature — to music apps.

The platform provides access to a catalogue described as over 150 million tracks, an AWS-based backend with global CDN delivery, automated royalty and licensing workflows with monthly usage and financial reporting to rights holders, territory-level rights controls and content gating, multi-platform delivery to mobile, watches, cars and TVs, AI-driven search and recommendation, billing and subscription monetisation tooling, a data lake and real-time analytics, and a content management and user management system.

Target verticals include DSPs and streaming services, telcos and mobile operators, aviation and transport (inflight entertainment), kids' devices and apps, gaming, fitness and wellbeing, and radio networks and broadcasters. The company has also moved into AI-based catalogue intelligence and streaming-integrity products, launching a streaming manipulation detection tool for rightsholders and DSPs and acquiring AI companies Pacemaker (2023) and Figaro (2025).

Founding story

Tuned Global was founded in 2010 by Con Raso, who is described as the company's Managing Director, CEO and co-founder and as a music and technology entrepreneur with experience across music supply chains, rights management, catalogue delivery, streaming infrastructure and monetisation.

Business model

Tuned Global sells business-to-business music technology rather than operating a consumer brand of its own. Clients license its backend infrastructure, APIs, SDKs and white-label apps to build or run their own branded streaming products, and can additionally engage the company for catalogue delivery and ingestion, rights management, licensing consultancy and royalty/usage reporting to rights holders. The company states it also operates music streaming services on behalf of clients in markets including the USA, France, the Netherlands, Japan, the Caribbean, Senegal and Nigeria.

Revenue is generated from B2B commercial arrangements for platform and technology provision — white-label apps, streaming APIs and SDKs, catalogue delivery and metadata services, and licensing consultancy — with the platform also offering clients flexible billing models, subscription tiers and monetisation tools for their own end users.

Traction

The company reports powering projects for more than 100 companies across 70+ countries since 2011, access to a catalogue of over 150 million tracks, an average listening time of six hours per user per month, and a team of about 40 music industry and technology experts (third-party sources list 21-50 employees). Named engagements include Line Music in Japan, True Digital in Thailand, Twist Music in MENA, Sonsy in Mongolia, PortalDisc in Chile, Gabb Music, Lululemon, MediMusic, Reactional Music, Etisalat, Plern, Spafax and Soundstripe.

Latest developments

In October 2025 Tuned Global acquired London-based AI audio search company Figaro (formerly FeedForward), integrating its catalogue tagging, content detection and vocal-identification technology and its co-founders Lydia Gregory and Kevin Webster; it followed the company's 2023 acquisition of Pacemaker. Other recent activity reported includes the launch of a streaming manipulation detection tool for rightsholders and DSPs, the addition of real-time tipping to Social Radio, a renewed partnership with Twist Music as the telco-bundled service expands from Egypt into the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the launch of Mongolian streaming service Sonsy, Realize Music's 'Sing' VR game with Tuned Global as strategic partner, a partnership with Leel Phone for kids' music streaming, and a platform update covering unified listening, AI tagging, a sandbox, CMS tools and PWA support.
