Nashville-based music payment startup Jammber has acquired TuneRegistry for an undisclosed amount in a bid to expand its music rights and royalty administration capabilities.
The acquisition of TuneRegistry makes Jammber a self-serve, end-to-end rights and royalty administration platform.
TuneRegistry allows rights-holders from over 40 territories to self-administer songs, recordings, and releases in North America while retaining 100% of their copyrights and 100% of their royalties.
Jammber was established in Chicago and is a graduate of Nashville’s Project Music Accelerator.
As part of the deal, TuneRegistry becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jammber and TuneRegistry co-founder and CEO, Dae Bogan, joins Jammber’s executive team as its Senior Vice President of Global Music Rights.
Bogan will continue to oversee operations and product strategy for TuneRegistry while working closely with the Jammber product team on its metadata-capture features.
“This is a natural evolution for Jammber’s offering and we couldn’t be more excited to have the TuneRegistry team on board.”

Jammber CoFounder and CEO, Marcus Cobb (pictured right) said: “Everything we do is around getting music owners paid faster and more accurately. Music ownership is at the core of all aspects of music usage.
“Now we can democratize the process of ownership registration in new ways that can scale with the extraordinary growth the industry is experiencing.”
Added Cobb: “Dae is the foremost expert in music rights administration and is unapologetic in his mission to help songwriters, producers, artists and performers attach their names to their creations in order to get paid and credit accordingly.
“This is a natural evolution for Jammber’s offering and we couldn’t be more excited to have the TuneRegistry team on board.”
“I have been following Jammber’s development and growth since they graduated Project Music and have become a huge fan of their approach and products.”
