Tone is a full-stack royalty management platform for music rights owners — independent labels, distributors, and royalty teams. It centralizes royalty accounting, income tracking, and contract management, then pays artists directly through integrated global payouts. The platform processes large royalty periods quickly, provides near-real-time sales intelligence with timeline views and customizable charts, models deal structures with a contract simulator (reserves, deductions, escalations), automatically associates costs with the applicable royalty periods, and gives artists transparent dashboards into their earnings. In-app artist payouts are powered by Airwallex for secure multi-currency international payments, letting labels pay artists and partners worldwide without juggling separate banking tools. Tone is backed by QED Investors. This profile was added to the API Evangelist network from a VC-portfolio lead; Tone is a SaaS application and does not currently publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, or developer portal.
