Sonify Music, a background music platform for businesses, announced the global launch of its 'Buy-Out' model, making it the first platform to offer full, permanent ownership of music tracks. The feature, announced June 27, 2026, aims to address limitations in the current royalty-free music market, which relies on restrictive licensing or subscription models that leave users without true asset ownership.
Under traditional models, businesses pay to access music but never own the track, exposing them to risks such as changing terms, expiration, or platform shutdowns. Sonify's Buy-Out model eliminates these concerns by providing outright copyright acquisition. Once a track is bought out, the buyer becomes the sole owner with no ongoing obligations.
'In an era where music creation has become technically accessible to everyone, it no longer makes sense for a single track to generate passive, indefinite revenue off the creators and businesses who use it,' said Venanzio Giacomelli, Founder & CEO of Sonify Music. 'With our Buy-Out option, anyone who acquires a track becomes its outright owner once and for all—not a lifetime subscriber to a library.'
In addition to the buyout feature, Sonify Music offers curated playlists tailored for commercial venues, including medical practices, spas, hotels, retail stores, and restaurants. Each stream is backed by audit-proof licensing to ensure legal compliance. The Buy-Out option is available across the entire catalog. For more information, visit sonifymusic.net.
This launch has significant implications for businesses that rely on background music. By offering full ownership, Sonify enables companies to secure their music assets permanently, reducing legal risks and long-term costs. The model could also shift industry standards, encouraging other platforms to reconsider licensing practices. For creators, the buyout option provides a new revenue stream, as they can sell tracks outright rather than earn royalties over time.
Sonify Music is headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, and was founded by Italian entrepreneur, pianist, and composer Venanzio Giacomelli, whose background spans international music production, DJing, and technology. The platform bridges high-end soundscapes with corporate compliance, aiming to simplify music usage for businesses worldwide.
