WHY STEALTHWRKS
What Sets Us Apart
We deploy exactly when and where you need us—no retainers, no project minimums. Our advisors embed directly with your team for the specific matters that require reinforcement, then step back when the work is done. You get senior-level expertise without the overhead of a permanent hire.
Music licensing requires a global footprint because digital services are available worldwide the moment they launch on Apple and Google platforms. Our team of advisors across seven countries delivers overnight access to every major market, collecting society, and rights holder.
​
We don't stop at deal closure. Born from 25+ years inside major labels and publishers, we build and manage the metadata, reporting, financial modeling, and rights infrastructure that keeps your licenses compliant and your business scalable.

OUR EXPERTISE
StealthWrks has a uniquely global footprint in music advisory, supporting ambitious companies across technology, entertainment, and digital media. Our expertise spans the full suite of knowledge that content businesses need: financial strategy, operational execution, music rights and licensing, metadata management, and a deep network of industry relationships—from the biggest labels and publishers to collecting societies in markets worldwide.
Our team brings extensive track records from major record labels (Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, BMG), global digital services (Spotify, SoundCloud), collecting societies and trade bodies (PRS for Music, SACEM, SABAM, Music Publishers Association), and cross-sector creative content. Whether you're a karaoke platform negotiating your first major-label deal, a mobile gaming company licensing hit songs, a music education service managing 14 simultaneous publisher deals, an AI-powered startup navigating new rights frameworks, or a consumer electronics brand embedding music into connected devices—StealthWrks gets things done.
A Uniquely Global Footprint in Music Advisory
SERVICES
What We Deliver
From copyright ownership research and content localization to artist partnerships and territorial restrictions, we build the content infrastructure that digital services need to scale. Our work spans AI music platforms, metaverse environments, connected devices, and every category in between—encompassing ISWC/ISRC mapping, DDEX reporting, and investor-facing licensing assessments.
We negotiate and manage music licenses globally—direct deals with major publishers (Universal, Sony, Warner Chappell, BMG, Concord, Kobalt) and collecting societies across every major territory. We manage the operational backbone: metadata integrity, usage reporting, MFN analysis, rate negotiations, PSM modeling, royalty calculations, and licensor projections.
​
We manage the complex world of artist-level restrictions, opt-outs, and content curation that comes with every major licensing deal. Our dedicated specialist works directly with licensors to resolve holdbacks, negotiate artist-specific permissions, and ensure your platform carries the content your users expect—while staying fully compliant with every rights holder's requirements.
​
HOW WE WORK
From Assessment to Ongoing Management
Every engagement follows a structured methodology refined over hundreds of deals. We bring proprietary tools, databases, and financial models to each phase—so your team benefits from institutional-grade infrastructure from day one.
