Notes.fm says it has raised $5 million from artists, managers, music executives and strategic partners to expand a platform meant to bring royalty collection, publishing and distribution into one service for independent artists.

Featured Source

The company was founded by Tim Luckow, a co-founder of music-distribution company Stem. In its funding announcement, Notes.fm named Zach Bryan, Benny Blanco, Tainy, Ari Emanuel, Julie Greenwald and Sam Hendel among its backers.

The pitch is about reducing the fragmentation that can make an artist's earnings difficult to track across distribution and publishing systems. Notes.fm says it wants artists and music companies to have more control over the administration around their work, rather than treating royalty collection as a separate afterthought.

That remains a company plan, not proof that the service will identify every payment or solve every rights dispute. The useful marker from this round is who chose to back the attempt and the fact that the company now has fresh capital to build the combined offering.
