VITRU | International Executive Recruitment for Utopia Music

The organisation

Utopia Music is a Swiss Music fintech company, founded in 2016, leveling up the Music Industry through clear, transparent, and reliable data-based solutions. We support the whole Industry to make more money, faster, with less costs, and less errors while creating an ecosystem where music & tech foster creativity & joy.

Utopia Music has an ever growing team of around 600 team members, that will make this happen. Distributed across Switzerland, UK, Sweden, Finland, USA, Spain, Belgium & Austria and with more locations to come soon. We are all focused on one common goal: to create a new industry standard for everyone.

Utopia Music is merging Music and Tech and bridging the data gap by connecting global consumption, accurate metadata, and fast payments to an industry-wide trust platform. Our goal is to unlock creative value and enable Fair Pay For Every Play to make a better world for Music.

Music is what brings us together! The open secret is that the music industry is struggling with the very basics of music accounting: What was played, when and where? Who should get paid and how much?

Music is incredible. It can excite hundreds, and unite thousands. But as an industry, it has been slow, complicated, and disparate. While the tech world has moved into the future, the music industry continues to be shaped by inefficient systems of the past. At Utopia we believe there is a better way. Which is why today we are setting out to transform the entire industry; creating new revenue streams, consolidating the data and decluttering the admin. Unlocking the industry’s full potential by unifying it all in one truly holistic space. Some might call that a Utopia.
