Case Study: Symphonic Distribution achieves scalable, automated global royalty payouts with Tipalti Mass Payments

Symphonic Distribution Scales Royalty Payments with Tipalti Mass Payments

Symphonic Distribution, founded by producer and DJ Jorge Brea, is a technology-driven music distribution and services company that helps independent labels, managers, and artists distribute music, collect royalties, and manage revenue splits via its SplitShare platform. As the client base grew into the tens of thousands, manual processes for compiling earnings, paying collaborators, handling KYC and tax data, and securing PII became unsustainable and threatened timely royalty payouts worldwide.

By implementing Tipalti’s mass payments solution, Symphonic automated monthly royalty and split payouts, centralized multiple payment methods, and transferred client verification and data-security responsibilities to a compliant system. The integration enabled payouts to artists on all seven continents, automated payments for 100,000+ clients representing 500,000+ artists, supported $500M+ in royalties paid out, improved trust and tax reporting, and let a lean finance team scale global operations reliably.
