Downtown – part of Virgin Music Group – is a modern global music company. We help millions of creators, rights holders and their partners to manage their music as a business and get paid fairly for their work. We’re working to build a more equitable global music industry because we believe when creators and their partners are fairly compensated, they are empowered to keep creating and investing back into the world.
We service over 50 million music assets from hundreds of countries across six continents, including some of the most well-known songs in popular music. Working with creators at every stage of their career, from emerging songwriters to iconic performers, our business model drives equity across the entire global music industry supply chain.
Downtown’s four core divisions – Publishing, Distribution, Artist & Label Services and Royalties & Financial Services – are built to make a more equitable and innovative global music ecosystem. Designed for the modern age, we are unencumbered by the legacy structures and outdated business practices that stifle creative musical evolution and growth. We advocate for creators and everyone in the business of music.
Headquartered in New York City, we are a global music company. Our 600+ employees are located in more than twenty cities on six continents around the world including: Amsterdam, Bogotá, Bordeaux, Buenos Aires, Concepción, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Medellin, Milan, Nashville, New Delhi, New York, Paris, Portland, Rome, São Paulo, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Toronto.
